No, the door on the cupboard does a good enough job to keep the smell inside. OC. -
Hi Harley, I use Tamiya Laquer Rattle cans for my painting, and during the drying process they give off quite a smell (the term for the his drying is called de-gasing) basically when the smell has gone they are ready to be handled. OC.

I agree with Ken bro, your showing the stages step by step - thats a great help. OC.

I used it purely by chance - what is also good about it - you can shape it like putty using a scalpel blade to get it to fit nice a snug around the exhaust stacks. OC.

I'm here also. OC. -
Respect to you bro for doing these tests - its will be of help not just to your own build but others also. OC.

Hi all, Right I finished off the masking and checked it over a few times - then I took it outside and gave it a few coats of RAF Green, its currently in the cupboard with the Seafire de-gasing. OC.

Hi all, Right the Dark Sea Grey top coat is on - its currently de-gasing in the cupboard. OC.

I like what you have done - its not easy (I tried it years ago on a Phantom - it didn't turn out too good)👍 OC.
-
Keep at it bro your doing fine it will be super. OC.
-
Thank you for that - very interesting pic. OC.

Thank you Grant, No - what I have learned is to be more careful with rolling the Blu Tack into smoother smaller sausage shapes and longer runs, then to be more precise how I place them, also I am pressing them down further than I did before to make sure they have better adhesion with the plane, hopefully this way the lines will be smoother. OC.

Hi all, I have kicked this one off again - I have started to re mask by using Blu Tack but making cleaner curves to cover the rough edges. OC.
-
Your doing better than I could do with a silver finish keep up the good work bro. OC.
-
Thanks Edward, nah they are munching on Marks popcorn - he has made a shed to keep it in due to its size. OC.
-
Thanks Mike. OC.
-
Coming on bro, a silvee finish isn't easy so I dont envy you. OC.

Having a slight change of subject so back on this for a bit - variety is the spice of life and all that, so next job on the Seafire was masking time, I used my normal - paper and tamiya tape, but I also found that blu tack came in usuful for masking the exhuasts and wing detail section - next job to spray the primer. OC.

Same sentiment as EG, doe s that cause loss of sensation and feeeling in the one leg? OC.

I already had a funny thing happen with the jeep and I aint telling anyone (have me self respect to think of)🤐 OC.

What a great idea with those supports - keeping glue from seeping out has always been a problem for us builders - too little and the join opens back up - too much and we have some clean up to do, your idea looks good. OC.

Thank you Ken. OC.
