Dave,

Possibly not the best of combinations although it might work. In your situation. If the hull is just sanded and not yet sealed, my preference would be to use gummed paper strip to plate it. You could use something like Deluxe Materiales Ezecote water based resin to moisten it when you stick it on and then another coat of Ezecote on top to seal it. Everything will blend in nicely and you will have a tough, smooth finish (as long as the hull itself is smooth).

If you don't like the idea of gumstrip then thin card will do the job and also, being a natural material, will stick very well to the underlying hull.

Ezecote is nice to work with as it is water clean up and any excess can be wiped away with a damp cloth – you can't do that with CA!

Hi Dave,

I tried exactly what your proposing and didnt get a good result, i ended up having to strip all the styrene off and resanding the hull. A complete waste of styrene and time!
