ORIGINAL: crankpin


Does anyone reading this know if I can get a good finish with silk span/dope on balsa, then monokote on top of that. I am not a monokote fan, usually paint, but I have learned how to do it right.

Vince, I've noticed that Monokote doesn't stick too well to hard surfaces. Try brushing on some thinned balsarite over the sealed surfaces. I hate using a heat gun, but sometimes it works better on these surfaces than an iron.. sometimes. Just watch the heat.
