| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 09-Jun-17 10:37 |  | | Views : 343 | | After two weeks of patient daily thin coats of rattle can Krylon clear gloss, I have no globs or runs of clear - better quit while I am ahead ... Onwards to prop hub drawings and experiments ... on the practise Axial prop I mixed a little golden oak in with the "natural" stain - I call that prop "WORMWOOD" because of all the round head pin holes all over it ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 31-May-17 22:01 |  | | Views : 280 | | I will just have to call it the "weathered look" - next time I will mix it up 50/50 Golden Oak and Natural stain to get the lighter color I was after. At least the good laminated Axial came out just the right tinge of red, and the practice prop was "Natural" stain. Now for many thin layers of rattle can Krylon Gloss Clear coatings. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 31-May-17 21:58 |  | | Views : 285 | | Just stained my 3 props after 2 wks of cleaning my apt! The small one Helice Eclair showed up with black darkened blotches on the blades - I don't know why - and I then made the mistake of brushing on a second layer of stain (golden oak) even though I knew it would darken it way darker (I thought I had overlapped the stain on the first try) and that did not work to remove those blotches!!! |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 24-May-17 13:03 |  | | Views : 305 | | My experiment with different wood stain colors and Krylon Gloss Clear Coatings, on some scrap lamination pieces from the prop block, to see what they look like. LEFT TO RIGHT : 1 - "Golden Oak" 2 - "Natural" 3 - "Mixture" : - 10 parts 'Natural', 1 part 'Cabernet' Red, and 1 part 'Golden Oak' (I like this one the best for my red and black Fokker D7), 4 - "American Walnut". Colors three and four are on the same piece of balsa scrap block laminate. |
