Hi guys,I have been out of modelling for a long time so I'm trying to get up to speed with the best way to go about things. I understand a lot is personal preference, or in some cases just the way it has always been done. I'm filling wood grain with dope. Do I put enough clear to completely fill the grain and have the surface be slick or do I apply just enough coats to allow for the covering material to have a layer of dope to stick to? I'm thinking that layers of dope have to be applied to fill the grain of the covering material anyway, so why is it necessary to completely fill the wood grain?Any offerings greatly appreciated. Craig
Thanks for that Alan.I have used Talc added to dope, thick, as a wood filler before. I use about a 4oz pot to thin my dope, a couple of teaspoons of Talc?Much appreciatedCraig
