| heywooood | 28-Apr-18 22:57 | | infill is completed on the fuselage...one application of filler and some shaping has been done. This will be the first model I am prepping with Gesso (thanks for that, Dave) and I am hopeful to see better results than I had been getting. Time will tell. |

| heywooood | 06-May-18 00:14 | | I like this Gesso filler - a lot. I am using it as filler after the spackling, shaping and sanding process. It goes on nice and silky with a good, 3/4" wide, flat brush. I hope I am using it correctly when I lay it on. Each coat is allowed to dry 24 hrs - then lightly block sanded with a 180, 220, 320 progression. I have applied 3 coats to the main fuselage assembly so far with the last coats only getting the 220, 320 sanding. Again all the major filling, shaping and sanding was done before the Gesso was ever applied. I have one question and I am assuming the answer is yes but : do I apply my clear sealer over the final Gesso coat (once completely dry) ? or does the Gesso work as both sealer and filler? This paint scheme will be the most difficult I have attempted to date and I am hoping to avoid any unexpected rework (not that it isn't often par for the course in my world lol) |
| David Duckett | 06-May-18 06:48 | | I haven't tried clear over gesso but I see no reason it wouldn't work. |
| heywooood | 07-May-18 22:48 | | ok so you are using it as both light filler AND sealer - good to know as I was thinking about using strips of masking tape and laying them on to mask the fine white lines that border the black accents. It's either that or I can paint the tape white and just use it AS the pin striping... |
