Full Version: Scalecoat sanding sealer question
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am about to build my first wood rolling stock craftsman kit, a PRR bobber cabin car from "Ye old Huff N Puff". It was recommended to me by my LHS to use Scalecoat sanding sealer for my wood kits(for now I have several) before painting the wood surfaces. Reading the instructions last night I see you can use the sealer in an airbrush when thinned. So this is my question(s), how should I use this sealer? By using an airbrush or a paint brush? What do you prefer? Or do you even use this product? :?:


Thanks for your input,

Mark
Mark...I use the same matte clear finish spray that I use to finish a model after painting. Apply a light coat and let it dry thoroughly, then lightly sand it with a very fine emery sandpaper, and you're all set. I'll generally use a paint brush for this application, and an airbrush for the final paint coat.

You might want to do a "test run" on some scrap wood and see how it turns out... Good luck..!! Thumbsup
