RoB Shaw Posted November 19, 2015 #272 Posted November 19, 2015 Beautiful build your work is of a class I can only call masterful. Do you clean ebony with acetone prior to gluing strakes to the frames? mtaylor 1 Quote
giampieroricci Posted November 19, 2015 Author #273 Posted November 19, 2015 thanks for your compliments and likes, friends! .......Do you clean ebony with acetone prior to gluing strakes to the frames? No. I glued the ebony directly using an aliphatic glue. mtaylor and WackoWolf 2 Quote
RoB Shaw Posted November 19, 2015 #274 Posted November 19, 2015 Thank you. I understand the bond is strong without cleaning the ebony, thanks again I shall test this with scrap as I haven't had the pleasure of working with ebony yet or nightmare whichever the case may be. Thanks again Rob. mtaylor and giampieroricci 2 Quote

druxey Posted December 27, 2015 #299 Posted December 27, 2015 If you've used actual lead, Giampiero, might I suggest sealing it with either acrylic medium or lacquer? It will prevent the lead turning to white lead salts in a few years' time. You've done a great job on a difficult part of the build.

It will prevent the lead turning to white lead salts in a few years' time. You've done a great job on a difficult part of the build. You are right! I give a coat of clear lacquer matte finish to fix all the small scratches that inevitably are created while working on the model! Thank you for your suggestion! druxey, WackoWolf and mtaylor 3 Quote
