## Questions & Answers

**Q: can it be used on a styrofoam plane**
A: Being lacquer based, I would say no, I believe the lacquer solvents would attack and likely melt styrofoam.  Better to used a water based acrylic or latex type finish on styrofoam.

**Q: Will it work on wood coated with finishing resin?**
A: Yes when the resin is cured.

**Q: Can this be used to prime photo etched parts?**
A: Yes, just don't use too much.

**Q: is this flammable**
A: As an aerosol being sprayed, yes it is flammable. Once the paint is applied and dry it's perfectly safe.
