PC2012 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Harvey, thanks for that, that seems to make sense. I'll give it a go once I work up enough courage to try it 😐 😀 Sharknose lol, tell you what I can show it next to my 1/12 McLaren engine, that will finally put paid to the rumors that it's not a 1/24 haha 😁😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Yes, Harv's way is worth a try. I was going to say to rest its bottom edge on Scotch tape and dip it - similar to Harvey but he actually pours. Either way is worth a try and iso will remove it if needed.

PC2012 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thank you, means a lot to me. I'm still working up the courage to finish it. I've been carefully sanding down today. I need some iso in case things go wrong. Then I'll read and re-read the advice both of you have given me....then.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC2012 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 I've messed up! I knew I would. I could do with some help please. Pretty please.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC2012 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Exactly what I thought would happen. It pooled on one edge badly, I panicked tried to get rid. It rolled onto the side... That was the result 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 AAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggghhhhh!!!!! I feel your pain. Don't worry, a bit of vinegar and warm soapy water should remove it without any risk of damage to the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver911 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If I may.....polish it with toothpaste....preferably 'smokers'. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Never thought of that one, Ron. That's another tip in the arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If all of that 'damage' is just run-off from Future, a soak in vinegar or iso and rubbing with fingers will get it back. Then a careful re-dip. I was afraid it was actual sanding scratches and wondered why you'd do that. All excellent suggestions from the boys. Maybe practice on a scrap model windscreen or aircraft canopies, the Future dipping technique. Can even apply and practice the removal tips before getting to the precious Maser part.

PC2012 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thank you gent's. I'll try when I get home. Then start again. I was actually thinking of brushing the future on? I'll try it then get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try it then get back to you. Can be done but not as cleanly as dipped... You CAN try cutting the Future maybe 1/3 with iso to thin it, so it wicks off the part more easily without a heavy drop. These are reasons I suggested practice on canopies and other scrap model parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate....you may have to do it twice tho....apply with the tip of your finger...let it go cloudy...then gently buff with the softest cloth (a cotton tshirt) until it goes clear again....don't use kitchen towel as it will scratch! (as will any paper towel). Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
