I second gemfeller's suggestiom of Hxtal for that job. It does take more time, but the end result is worth the wait.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Unfortunately Hxtal is not readily available in Canada and cross border shipping from American suppliers is prohibited. In place of Hxtal people use Opticon which I find to be quite ineffective. I will try with thin CA glue. On my next visit to the lower 48 I will get some Hxtal for future projects.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
