Dunno. There has not been enough astro testing done. There's a lot of variables that will need testing, and this will take time. If anyone has either Black 2.0 or 3.0, now's the time to start experimenting.

Wavy started out with some testing of the Black 2.0. He painted a board, one half with cheap poster paint and the other half with 2.0 and let the board get wet with dew. The poster paint was not water fast and smeared of when you dragged your finger over it. The 2.0 held fast and did not come of on one's finger. This is good to know for Newts and other open tube OTA's.

Test No. 1 for Black 2.0 - tick

Test No. 2 will be gauging adhesion quality to a previously painted OTA interior.

Same testing needs to be done for Black 3.0 as it is a different formulation. The results for 2.0 are only for 2.0, and cannot be assumed that 3.0 will behave the same way.

This is where those cheap little scopes kicking around in the back of one's shed is KING for this sort of experimentation!

Alex.
