  1. Then it must be sectioned!!!!!! just a 5" section.........Now you can see that FE!!
  2. When it's lost it's sheen....dulls down...IE:time the mfgr says to wait B-tween coats
  3. I like the 6' tall potted plant!
  4. Great Glue!!! I started using it for mockups and it works!!!!!!!!! It will soften in water and dries sorta rubbery and it will work for masking paints It is like Elmers white glue so it is used to put all my glass in.......it is A SLOW DRYER!!!!! This WIP is held together with it!!I like the fact I can mock up the chrome blower, manifold , front cover and, bell housing....then peel and paint then reassemble!!! great for suspension work!!
  5. Do you get crisp corners this way??? I never seem to get them with the cutoff discs by dremel.
  6. Can't say about enamels as I detest that stuff. I shoot HOK, Tamiya, Duplacolor, and Model Master all lacquers. Rule of thumb is let it flash ,then slowly pull tape back over it self and it wont' tear...it is still soft at this point so make sure its mounted securely...why ruin that two tone now !Here's some examples: Crisp Lines are the result of puting the tape on tightly on a clean smooth surface. I burnish all edges first, right before I lay down the color, and spray from the tape side all 2 or 3 color coats this keeps the edge down.
  7. Hit the pawn shops......lotsa good tool buys now!
  8. I use the metalizers(lacquer) so my tamiya acrylics work as washes.
