no Andy i had not considered that, this being a water/clay wash did have its problems though, as it had to be dapped with paper to remove any surplus as it got under the deck and lifted in places, but when i checked last night it had all dried ok,
-
being a water based wash - i can still adjust it should i so wish, but i have to be carerful that it does not make the deck to wet and get under the adhesive
-
Good evening everyone Some Bismarck done today, the deck is on, and a lot easier to fit than anticipated, i then toned it down with a Flory dark dirt wash, im happy with the results, please let me know what you think
