Impalow Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Thanks Bruce, John, James, Ray and Carl! Thank you Steve, the plan is to have it done for the next meeting.. We shall see if that happens, the purple window material may be a slight hold up. I finished up the BMF work on Friday and Saturday. Then managed to get it cleared yesterday! I edged the panels with BMF that I sanded in a circular pattern with 600 grit, this gives the illusion of silver leaf and also creates some contrast from the other BMF trim. That worked okay, other than the sanding made the foil brittle, application was a struggle. Some areas are not as clean as i would like, but it was a learning process... Next time I will have a better grasp on how to do this... and that is all that matters. Three coats of urethane clear really brought out the metallic and pearls. Going to let it sit for the week so its cured nice and hard, then give it a sand and buff. Edited August 24, 2015 by Impalow
