  1. I have used acrylic paints that sprays flat. A most of them need Gloss to get a shiny finish. Also, a lot of basecoat paints sprays flat and need a gloss coat. Check out Splash paints Most of their paint require a gloss coat. Mike
  2. Good to know. I bought one of those sets in the blue case from Amazon for about $7.00 Talk about cheap. Most of the bits didn't even sharp tips they were squared off. You get what you pay for. Mike
  3. The 2 part Bondo is impervious to chemicals except acid. Think about. It can be painted over with any type of automotive paint and not get destroyed. It can even take a minor hit in a car accident and not even crack. I word of advice: Before it gets hard sand it. We used a tool called a cheese grader to file it down while it was still curing It is impossible use that tool when it gets hard. Good Luck Mike
  4. I just read up on Acrylic and you are right. In defense of Hobby Lobby, they must have 100 or even 1000 products. No one could be an expert on everything that they have. Thanks for the info Mike
  5. Got back from Hobby Lobby no one and I mean no knew anything about paint. I showed the manager what acrylic is and what is in that can. One would think I was speaking Klingon to her. Got my exchange and bought a bottle Createx clear. Thanks for all the comments. Mike
  6. I did explain that I was gonna use it for clear plastic just like the ones that are in the store. When a can or bottle says Acrylic that is what supposed to be inside. Anyway, back to Hobby Lobby for an exchange and maybe some answers. $8.00 a can. Thanks for the comment Mike
  7. I got this can from Hobby Lobby yesterday. I explained that I was going use it on clear plastic and this is what he gave me. Got home did a test spray and this what happened. Check out the back of the can. Mike
  8. I am in no need of this. Brand new never used. I am open to any offers. Thanks for looking Mike
  9. If I remember correctly. Depending how Alcohol fuel is mixed an engine can be run without a radiator. Same goes for Nitro Methanol the more Methanol added the engine runs cools until it ignites in the combustion chamber. I think Mike
  10. My dream car. If some wants to buy me one. Just PM me
  11. I delete anything that I don't recognize. I don't open anything that is not a direct reply. Mike
  12. Good Luck. The marvels of modern medicine. My wife had a hip replacement done. She had to walk up 1 flight of stairs before she could leave. Mike

  15. Soon, I hope that we can buy a file from any model manufacturer. So that we can print it at home.
  16. I am looking to build WW1 Bomber or Bi-Wing Fighter Airplanes. In a larger scale maybe 1:48th. which manufacture would you recommend? Thanks Mike
  17. I am trying to build a Gotha WW1 bomber. The rear bulkheads fit ok. But the forward ones don't fit, too wide. Even the steering assembly is too wide. Help Mike
  18. I have been to MId-America and bought a 1:24 slot car. I usually go to the Logan Ave track in Belvedere IL about 20 minutes from my house. They don't have much in the way of aftermarket stuff. So off to Mid America! Thanks Mike
