Dana,

You can use PPG DP48 it's a white epoxy primer. If you want more strength, I have heard that some people mix an equal amount of Jefco regular epoxy into it. I just got the stuff and am about to do some tests.


You can get the PPG DP48? at any auto pint store, or they can order it for you.

As you know, many of us use the grey Jeffco tank sealer not only for our fuel tanks, but also to coat other raw carbon fiber areas inside the airplane that are susceptible to damage (soaking) from fuel, hydraulic fluid, etc.  Examples are the inside belly of the plane and the well wells.  Personally, I’d like to use white inside the wheel wells, especially on a white airplane.  Anyway, Jeffco said that they would make a batch of white tank sealer, but the minimum order is 15 gallons at $76/gal.  I certainly don’t need 15 gallons (unless I build a kit Antonov An-225), so let me know if anyone else is interested.  I know that other solutions have been posted, like the DP40LF for example.  Just thought I’d throw out another option for consideration …
