Hi Robin,

Its great to see this project come together stage by stage and looking very good indeed.

However i am a bit concerned with regard to the adhesive backed tiles fixed directly to plasticard, i'm not sure what the adhesive is on the backing but with success i used the once available Exactoscale type and to find they lifted after a few months.

The reason for this was that the chemical in the plastic reacted with the adhesive which formed the backing, to counter this i fixed cartridge paper directly to the plastic with liquid poly then fixed the tiling to that and to this day all has stayed put, its just worth baring in mind just in case.

keep up the excellent work and sorry i couldn't get over to you at the Wigan show i never got one minuit to spare , hectic from start to finish.

cheers

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your kind comment.

I not too concerned about the tile adhesive - Dave Holt raised a similar query about the adhesive in the Sand Dryer part of my blog and elicited a response from Chris Dening of York Modelmakers [smokey9919]- see Sand Dryer tiles.

I'm taking a break from the buildings and progressing with the baseboards to make them ready for tracklaying.

Are you going to Watford - I am collecting the shed kit from Chris at the show.

Cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin.

Re tiles as Chris has pointed out the adhesive has stood the test of time so should be no problems there.

Unfortunatley i won't be able to get to Watford on this ocasion would have liked to have seen the shed in the flesh ( or is it plastic ) having to curtail the trips to and fro due to workload deadlines, however i will be demonstrating at Doncaster and taking a trip to York and Rochdale as a punter so to speak.

cheers

Peter
