Thor70 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hello - my name is Chris, I am a new member. I have been modeling on and off for 40 years. I have a passion for propeller driven aircraft but will occasionally dabble in a jet or two. When I am not building aircraft I am working on my railroad. I have a wide variety of aircraft in my modeling stash. I really wanted to improve my modeling skills. I have always been interested in joining a modeling “club” to help me in modeling as well as communicating with others who share the same passion as I. Unfortunately, I don’t have any local clubs, so I am looking forward in sharing as well as learning new skills and ideas from others. Thanks again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor70 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thank you for the responses. I could use some pointers on using pledge Floor wax on aircraft as a gloss finish prior to decaling. My concern is afterwards once the decals have been sealed, can you spray a flat finish over the Pledge such as Testors flat or even a semi gloss finish? Is there a recommendation on what to use? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yes i use Tamiya XF-86 flatcoat i very lightly dust a few coats of that on. This gives me a nice satin finish. I recommend you stir the flat coat of your choosing for a few minutes, and dilute it with the correct thinners. Otherwise you may end up with white flecks/spots. Also dont let the flat/dull coat pool for the same reasons. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
