BobG Posted July 15, 2020 #4 Posted July 15, 2020 Beautiful model. Congratulations! I watched your video on your blog about how you choose dyes and finish your models. At one point you say that you apply dyes over a coat of cyanoacrylate glue. I have never heard of doing this before. It seems like the cyanoacrylate would prevent the dye from being able to penetrate to the wood and color it. Are you actually able to dye the cyanoacrylate coat?

The CA glue helps create an even tone. I found that if I dye the wood straight, without applying CA first, the wooden looks "dirty" - the dye is uneven. The CA prevents the dye from penetrating the wood, yes. But this achieves a more even tone and "cleaner" finish. This method is used in the furniture industry, though there they use, for large surfaces, sealants. For smaller surfaces, CA does the same job, but is less toxic. Of course, the CA is used also in carvings that would be died. Quote
BobG Posted July 16, 2020 #7 Posted July 16, 2020 Thanks very much for your reply. I had never heard of doing this. You certainly get very nice results though!

Guest Posted January 7, 2022 #18 Posted January 7, 2022 How to improve the model through quality ropes. You spent a lot of time building a model, isn't it worth buying quality ropes or a ropewalk for making them?! Quote
