Title: WHY????
Post by: Ty Marcucci on August 30, 2020, 01:59:48 PM

Just got finished painting the  entire top of my new plane, solid white so far.  Then I look at my handy work and what do I see in the middle of the out board wing, a tiny, bitty friggin gnat, dead and sunk into the paint.

There is a truck, if the paint is still wet, which will help in remove unwanted visitors.

You can take a short piece of tape and fold it into a loop then apply the tape to the unwanted, what ever it is.

Yes, you must immediately hit that area with a bit more paint, a tad.

In most cases you'll be sanding to flatten or to give bite to the next color anyway.

Wipe it off after the paint dries. Move on. It's just an airplane.

Went out at noon, sprayed the bottom of the model. The itsy, bitsy bug just wiped right off. No touch up req'd. The thinner dried it out. LL~ LL~ LL~

Yeah, see.... Glad it's good.
