| Don C | 19-Jan-21 10:49 | | Very nice. Smooth covering job. Have you figured out a way to print on the wood, or are you doing it like me - print parts on paper and glue it to the wood? |
| bsadonkill | 19-Jan-21 15:28 | | This was a kit with printed wood. You might want to try printing out your parts on a printer. Then hold them face down on your wood. Using a piece of cloth dampened with dope thinner, rub the damp cloth on the back side of the paper. This will melt the toner to the paper. Its takes some practice to do. TOO wet will blur the lines, TOO dry will not transfer the toner. I have also used Elmer spray adhesive to attach print outs to wood. You can use acetone to remove the paper that's difficult. |
| edtherenderman | 19-Jan-21 15:51 | | I use yet another technique. I print parts to large format 8.5 x 11" peal and stick label paper. I leave the paper on the parts after I cut them out because it does a good job of keeping those pieces of balsa that like to break off around the stringer slots on the part. |
