Well, it came out looking like a super-white Fibreskyn... I went for a super- thin coat, mostly just to clean up the cosmetics
No change in sound, but i'll have to see if it peels or flakes (although i sanded the previous coating with 240 silicate carbide paper)
i seem to remember a skin renew paint

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
If I remember correctly, it was called Ruff Kote That was a discontiued item that I looked for a few years ago. I think that there was some EPA issue with it.
yes like everything nader its for our own good most likely the drum head co. squashed it it worked great

I tested this on an old head and it looks good (bright white). Feels like a new coated head.

Yes, Ludwig put that product out years ago, I think it was discontinued around 1978 or so. Yes, the EPA had issues with it, which is why Ludwig dropped it. It was good stuff.
