sounds cool jimbo! congrats on it working out!

can you post some pics of it for us to see?

Well, that's pretty much what off the shelf dope based sanding sealer is- and I have used it plenty, and I really like it! Never considered mixing my own though!

hey all... been working on a destroyer/light cruiser thing... not sure just making it up as i go along... looks quite good as well...

anyways.. because it has been built from all the spare r/c planes stuff i have lying around i coated the hull in a mix of dope and talcum powder mixed in... and the brilliant thing is... with very light sanding... i have gotten a finish like gel coat...

i just mixed the talcum powder in with the dope until it went like treacle... put 2 thick coats on (sanding inbetween)and it looks when it dries like its been smotherd in vasline... (smoothish) 10 mins sanding with finish sanding paper and i had the perfect finish...

just wandering if anyone else has ever tried this??...
