One thing I am interested to know (if anyone tried or wants to test) is how these hold up to flame / heat (think treating motor mounts and motor ejection). (e.g. I'd hate to use a NC based lacquer to seal a motor mount tube.

Results, again, are relative / rough / for comparison only.
For all except the controls, the burning proceeded much quicker on the exterior untreated surface than the interior.
Both controls ( untreated ) burned in about 60s.
wh1, wh2, ls1 all burned in about 50s.
gs1 burned in about 45s w/ hissing / frying noise.
wg1 burned in about 60s w/ thick black smoke.
ls2 burned in about 60s w/ a hot clean flame.
gs2 burned in about 60s w/ hissing / frying noise.
I lost the wg2 sample at some point in the last several days ; I would expect it to take about a minute to burn, and to produce even more black smoke.
The only surprising result was the large delta between gs1 and gs2, but again: small sample size / imprecise measurement.
All in all, I don't know that we can draw many conclusions, other than none of the treatments particularly turn our body tubes into fiery death traps
What testing would be suggested for water trials? 1x & 2x coats ( inside & out this time ), spray w/ water, look for deformation? Immerse in water, let dry 24 hrs, weigh?
That's because Minwax wood hardener is 72% acetone and 3% methanol by weight. Those are the solvents for the actual hardening agent. Here's the MSDS:

wonder if i can use it to fuel my methanol chugging sprint car... (that's me last year at Ventura Raceway)
That's COOL!!!!
