| Huey V77 | 17-Mar-17 08:23 | | Trying out this stuff EZE-Dope, not sure if I like it yet. |
| Don C | 17-Mar-17 10:41 | | It looks OK. Anticipating your reviews. |
| Huey V77 | 17-Mar-17 11:50 | | Okay, here ya go Don. I'm old school, Nitrate. I put 3 to 4 coats of thinned Eze on the frame where I will cover. I read a review of the product on Stick & Tissue, thinned the product as suggested. The coatings placed on the frame was thinned 50%. As I tacked the tissue around the edges, the tissue would pucker up, because of the water base. I'd try to smooth it out with my finger, stretching both sides at the same time and puckers would show up. As the material would dry it would slowly lay down. But winkles would show up on the frame. Nitrate doses not do this ( no H2O ).After the material dried, I lightly wetted the tissue to shrink it. After it dried, I applied a light coat od 50% material, the tissue looked like it was wetted with water. It tightened up nice, but there were winkles showing up that weren't there before. Oh, as I coated the frame I sanded each time with 400. The one thing I don't like is the feel of the product on your skin. Even after washing the brush out with Dawn, and my fingers, my skin feels weird. Nitrate dry's and peels off the skin, this stuff feels alien. As I continue I'll add more info. If you take your time it does look good. Learning curve. |
| Huey V77 | 17-Mar-17 12:06 | | One more thing, I've been putting on several coats. Each time you apply a coat the tissue wrinkles up quite a bit. the more coats the less the wrinkles. It seems to settle down after 4 coats. I've had to cut out the worst wrinkles and patch them. Didn't want to recover the whole area. This stuff is tough, cutting with a #11 took some effort. |
| rayl | 18-Mar-17 09:05 | | After your review, I think that I will stick with Nitrate! |
| Don C | 18-Mar-17 09:38 | | Me too. Thanks. |
| John M Oshust | 18-Mar-17 14:59 | | But Nirate dope is not environmental friendly..... ho humm! |
| Huey V77 | 18-Mar-17 16:21 | | Its friendly to my environment ;>) |
| Don C | 18-Mar-17 17:51 | | I agree with Huey. It makes me happy. |
