Yup. But it does take about 3 days to totally dry. You can handle it easily the next day but for that bullet proof coat wait a few days. Check out por15.com and click on the clearcoats tab. Believe me, this stuff is awesome, I've been using it for about 20 years now.

I ruined the truvativ bottom bracket by my own stupidity with a mallet and impatience....So I decided to order this instead - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G8TSPS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And thankfully the cups on this BB Adapter are not nearly as deep as the truvativ adapter so I should be able to get this installed with just a bit more grinding.

How is it going Duece? Did you get that BB sorted?

Nope, life got crazy. I hope to get at it and get it buttoned up early next week.
the disc hub comes in tomorrow, then it's off to a local LBS to see if they can lace it to my electra wheel ASAP.
Down to the wire, looking forward to seeing it!

Made some great progress this weekend.
Finally got the BB adapter installed. Sooooooooo glad I found this one. It installed so much easier than the Truvativ three bolt setup.
The front wheel is just a placeholder until the blue rim comes back from the LBS with the new disc hub installed. I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with this build. It's gonna be soooo close.

Thanks, I'm liking how it's turning out.
So, I had the GGG assembled and rideable last night, disc brakes and all, or so I thought.....
I had to spread the rear stays a bit to fit the nexus hub and after tightening everything down, I noticed a wobble in the rear. I couldn't get the tire to stay straight.
After further inspection, I saw one of the brazes broke where the dropouts go into the frame.
I tried re-brazing it but it's not holding. If I can't find someone to weld it, I am not sure what I am gonna do. ARGH!!!!

I love that frame. Is that a built-in rack?
Thanks, it is a built in rack. The columbia firebolt and the balooner columbia newsboy specials had integrated racks.
I sure hope you find a welder buddy!
I really hope you get that frame sorted, one of the nicest frames ever made...

Lookin good! 
Thanks guys!
For all intensive purposes, if I can't get it welded tonight, I am going to fully assemble it and get pics. Not sure if that will violate the rules or not, but it's done other than this minor setback.
