AH II has worked reasonably well for me. The keys seem to be good surface prep, and then baking the finish for a few hours at ~200-degrees.
I used TCE cleaner as recommended in the Brownell videos, ahairdryer between coats, a week in front of the fireplace and plan plenty of cure time. It has cured 2 weeks now and I will probably wait quite a bit longer before sighting it in again. I just put the scope back on at finger tight. From what I have read, prep and cure time are critical with Alumihyde. I'll report back on durability when I get it in the field.
