| David Duckett | 24-Aug-09 21:20 | | I gave them this one and the others, all from the past few years. I put everything in the kit on this one. |
| David Duckett | 02-Aug-11 21:02 | | These are cardstock. Some hints after spaghetti... |
| David Duckett | 03-Aug-11 08:39 | | ...The instructions say to apply a coat of clear dope to the cardstock pieces before using them so I apply two coats and sand smooth with 320 wet/dry sandpaper. Likewise the silkspan is given a couple of coats of dope and sanded smooth. Once the pieces are glued securely onto the silkspan, another coat of dope is painted on. This will seal the junction where paper meets silkspan and I would paint on another coat of dope just to make sure. I don't use styrene for such things but I do use it in other applications and it sands quite easily. Whatever you use it still needs to be sealed in the same way before painting with colors. |

| David Duckett | 03-Aug-11 10:32 | | If you're not familiar with the larger Guillows kits, the "rivets" are made by using a pin to make the holes on the back side of the card stock. |
