I have been working on a Top Flight Sea Fury off and on for several months. In that time, I found out a few things, so i am just passing them on as suggestions.
1. I don't personally know bigtim (see above), but he has helped me, and he knows his stuff (I'm sure most other people do too, but).
2. I played around with e-poxy, Z-poxy, and the poly method (as described in the above link) on scrap material, and for me, the poly method is much better, easier, easier clean up, and doesn't smell.
3. If you can paint, then I would suggest that you try a small amount of the poly on some scrap material. I think you will see what I mean.
4. Check out the link to tom pierce, it will explain everything in detail.
5. Did I say bigtim knows his stuff?
