Hi All, Bit of a random one but here we go...I'm one of those lucky people that still has a few bottles of the old-formula Johnson's Klear, and I have noticed that my bottles have accumulated assorted gunge near the bottom (dust, etc.). I was thinking of filtering my Klear into a clean glass jar through something, possibly muslin cloth, but that may be too fine. Has anyone filtered Klear before, and if so what did you use? Thanks James

This is not really intended to be a proper wip. It's a sort of trial run for a 1/32 kawasaki ki-61 that I want to foil. I have tried various metal effect paints in the past and wanted to try and get a little more of a realistic finish. I have started with the foiling straight away because it calls for a fair amount of man-handling to get it stuck and burnished. I am using cheap sticky foil tape from wickes. I have started with panels that don't overlap onto another piece as these will be done after I have stuck various others together. From what i have read, if you can, It's best to run a whole piece over leading edges, and joints to the next panel line on the other piece. If that makes sense? Started but cutting easily manageable pieces and applying them just over the panels I want to cover. Then trimming them carefully to fit with a very sharp scalpel. Polishing them with a piece of steel. The steel is a arm from a bulldog clip! Small, smooth and gives a really high shine. I am just experimenting at the moment as i don't want to ruin a fifty quid plus model. If anyone can give me any tips or help I would be very grateful. Kev
