    Hi Mate I used sanding sealer first (3 coats) then 3coats of poly c, rubbed down, then tissue, then 3 more coats of poly c, & thats as far as I have got. will use a primer rubbed down well then the paint job finished with 3 coats of poly c. Nice model & nice finish, hope mine looks as good. DJW

    Hi Tony, If you brush on the final coat on a painted surface will it stand rubbing down to get a good finish. DJW

    Hi, I am using poly -c to cover an acro wot with tissue & its fantastic stuff, no more dope for me. Has any one ever thinned it down to spray it on & does it affect its fuel proofing properties.Can anyone advise please. DJ Wheelhouse

    Cheers Peter, Sods law your reply has come in now, went & bought a Clarke scroll saw because of blade availability, Told KC all seems ok but needs a few days use to evaluate more, but thanks for your thread anyway. DJW

    Hi KC Just come out of the shed after setting up the saw, The adapters for non pinned blades are supplied so thats handy. The machine seems very sturdy with very low vibration but may be better when its bolted down. Blade alignment had to be set to get a straight cut but apart from that all was well. I will let you know how it performs after more extensive use, DJW

    Is it also 100% fuel proof mate?
  13. Douglas Wheelhouse
    Thanks for that Tony, Does it have a downside?

    Hi, Being a dope & tissue man I saw an article on Poly-C. Sounded too good to be true as it is also a fuel proofer, so I have bought some but have'nt used it yet. Has anyone used this product? & is it as good as it sounds. look forward to hearing from anyone who has DJW

    hi Colin, After building & assembling my jitterbug I found that with the tail plane at neutral incedence the angle of attack was showing 1 degree of negative incidence, so I adjusted this to read 1 1/2 degs of positive, but need to know if this is correct. regards Douglas
