Balsa Model
does anyone know of a alternative to use for modeling dope ? trying to finish covering a balsa wood model?
ran out and car is in the shop ...thanks Nick
Model dope is usually just gloss enamel, so any enamel would substitute. If the model is all balsa, you could even use latex paint and then give it a coat of polyurethane or other varnish to make it shiny. If you are making one of those airplane kits that have tissue paper over the wings, you shouldn't use any water base paint, as it would dissolve the tissue paper. By the way, nail polish is gloss enamel and comes in lots of colors, so maybe you could "borrow" some from a friend or relative??
