If you do, be careful and don't let things get too hot! This wasn't even boiling water, just extra hot tap water in a foam cup!

Ok, thanks Art! Oh, paint came out better this time, did end up with a finger print in it when I accidentally touched it while fixing a couple small spots on the hood and over the passenger door window. I should be able to sand those out with 1000+ grit paper and not have an issue with sanding through.

Would this be similar to the one you have Art and did you have to get extra trays for it? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Presto-Dehydro-Electric-Food-Dehydrator-06300/20924338

His suggestion to try an adheasive remover was more of a Hail Mary, figuring it wouldn't hurt since the other choice was wetsand and reshoot anyway. I may need to look into a dehydrator at somepoint too.

I've already wet sanded it and it's ready to get masked and reshot tomorrow after work, so long as it's not as humid as it is now.

Was stripping the paint off the mirrors of the Revell Snap-Tite New Beetle I'm working on and lost one down the drain...............this is also the one I needed to wet sand and re spray the roof on...........

Well, turns out it was91% Isoprpyl Alcohol I had, not 71%, kiiiiinda made things worse.........

I agree with Bob, I've tried those cans and they don't work. You're better off with at least a 5 gal. tank and a bicycle pump or plug in compressor. I've actually had those cans freeze up on my and the only way around it was to put them in warm to hot water to counter that.

The owner of the place I got the tape and primer I used from chimed in on my Instagram last night, he's pretty sure this is going to be a sand and reshoot too, but suggested trying an adheasive remover first, just on the offhand chance that might work.

Will do, thanks!

Bob Smith is typically CA glue, Epoxy, and they have a really good foam glue too. The CA or epoxy should be determined by need, since they have a variety of both. I like their tire and foam save gold label CA glues, they all work well. Some of their other CA's that are supposed to have different setting times and thicknesses, you will probaly need the kicker if it gas to stick NOW and it isn't your fingers to what ever you're holding (I found that to be a common rule for any CA), but are also good. The epoxies, 5 minute should be fine for our uses here, but if you're looking at wood R/C planes, consider the 30 minute or better epoxies. If you are building something from foam and it needs to be flexible, they have a great glue for that too, but it's not a CA like the gold label is.

Had a small problem with the Revell Snap-Tite New Beetle I've been messing with lately. After shooting it with Testors Blazing Black Lacquer last night and deciding to paint the center of the roof as well as the mirrors, mirror triangles, and B-Pillars Model Master Black Lacquer tonight. Weeeeeelllllllll, had a small problem. I shot the roof right after work, went and grabbed dinner for Dad and myself and let it sit until I was done eating. Brought it in and masked off everything to paint the sides and when I brought it in and unmasked it, I found the adheasive on the 3M yellow automotive tape messed up the paint on the roof a bit. Other than that, I am happy with the finish and will clear it once the roof paint is fixed!

This little man happened. Pretty legendary too................................................. https://www.kustomrama.com/index.php?title=Bill_Hines

I'm looking into getting rid of some R/C stuff including a car that I intended to build but have lost that desire to do so over the last 2 years and want to get of it via eBay. It's currently in pieces and I have a bunch of hop up parts for it that are all still in the original packaging that would be easy to use the USPS prepay boxes and envelopes for. Is there anything I need to know about selling through eBay since I've only done it once?

Oh, that must have SUCKED!

Now that could be "Dipped" or "Wrapped", which you can peal off and change the color of the car without having to drop big coin on a repaint.

There are times in life in which fail must fall..... I tried to replicate the pearl bomb dip that Dip Your Car did on their S8 on one of the Speed Shapes I bought from Resto Paint yesterday, went like I thought it likely could, just not as I hoped..........came out like clear coated sandpaper Now my PrimeTime Grey experiment, that came out perfect

Worth...every...last...penny... https://www.google.com/search?q=grabber+tool&safe=active&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiJ4aGihpDcAhUHS60KHZGwAjcQ_AUICygC&biw=1280&bih=699#imgrc=Lus8gAe2FawBcM:

Picked up some of these to experiment on before putting paint to styrene if I want something larger to use as proof of concept for weirder for my crazy paint ideas.

If there is a 3rd hood available, I suggest ditching the Chevy hood scoop and making an stretched out SC/Rambler style scoop or use the cowl portion of that hood for the bottom of the scoop and fab up a stretched upper. Power wise, I'd get one of the kits with a late model HEMI in it and use that engine instead. Here's what the SC/Rambler scoop looked like.

Possibly this very Depot Hack!

They did, it's called the Challenger.

There's very good chance that if the Celebrity, Citation, Tempo, Monza, Escort, and Shadow name came back, they'd be on better cars.......although I can see the Shadow being reused as a trim package on something like a Charger/Challenger or a Jeep while while Monza could be reused in the same way to sport up a the Cruze Monza Turbo version like the Corvair, or another hot version of the Camaro........... now that I think of it, Monza Turbo version of that too

Sounds like that is what killed KB Toys too, actually, I'll have to research some after work, but I think Bain Capital was part of that too.....

This was a pretty good article on what happened to Toy's "R" Us, as well as other low lost retailers. https://www.buzzfeed.com/leticiamiranda/how-wall-street-bought-toys-r-us-and-left-30000-people?utm_term=.xp1mj0xOr0#.vvxVelPOYl
