RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted October 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2018 I've started a thread on Painting Weathering and Transfers as there's a risk we are getting too far away from the bargains. I bought some yesterday thanks to the OP is this is the results on my trial with the primer.http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/138482-poundland-grey-primer/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signaller69 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) I saw the Silver, Gold, Green and Pink paint cans in store. Excuse my ignorance (new to spray painting) but are the Primers (Matt Black and Grey, and Satin Black) which NXEA! mentioned different to the paint colour sprays.Ah yes, I do recall "luminous" colours on occasion! The primer colours in theory have a greater filling property thus giving a slightly thicker coating and are used as a base on bare metal/plastic etc but they can be used just as a top coat if desired; I usually go with the Matt ones, not tried satin. For example, Chris Nevard has been known to use just black, grey and red primer car aerosols in combination to weather track to excellent effect in very little time. Edit; with apologies, as Metroland says, a better topic for a separate thread. Edited October 16, 2018 by Signaller69 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted October 16, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hattons email is showing some Dapol O gauge Panniers at anything from £40 off! - The BR Black 7400 Class RRP £400, was £340, now £295. 6400 Class Sound fitted pannier was £467.50 now £395. If anyone wants an O Gauge pannier, bloody good prices in my opinion! Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXEA! Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Apologies for not replying to you all, I didn’t think it’d generate such a discussion. A comparison photo between different shades and a photo of the can is on Metr0Land’s thread. I compared my efforts to the post-war teaks I have from the R2981 Olympic set - certainly a lot lighter, but still a fair representation for what I’m after. FWIW the Matt Black is pretty decent too.

spikey Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 ... (Poundland) also do 2 part "Bond Together" epoxy resin in a syringe dispenser which is as good as the premium brands imo. And IMO too. It's good stuff for a quid - as is their superglue! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 18, 2018 And IMO too. It's good stuff for a quid - as is their superglue! Having had too many brand named superglue become unusable when still half full, I now only use Poundland's version. Less money wasted when it needs binning. Unfortunately it is becoming more expensive 10 tubes > 8 tubes, now 6 tubes. Quite a rise over 10 years or so. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Slightly O/T but perhaps a worthwhile warning I have found after 6 months or so, things stuck with Poundland superglue become unstuck again, it bonds well in the short term but degrades quickly.

stewartingram Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Try this one on ebay. I first got it many years ago from Warley show, but in "bargain packs" with other bottles. I now buy from ebay - this example is not necessarily the best offer, try searching. Item no. 312121047332 Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sidelines Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 We don't have 'Poundland' but we do have Wilkinson's. Yes I have had some tubes go off after a being opened and left. To get over that problem Wilkinson's now sell a multi pack - 4 x 0.5gm tubes. Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what postage difference is tho. Thought it may interest someone. Rich Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have had some tubes go off after a being opened and left. To get over that problem Wilkinson's now sell a multi pack - 4 x 0.5gm tubes. Ray I use Polish glue, in gel or liquid, called “Kropelka” it will stick anything to anything and the opened tubes last for months. Polish shops usually sell it, less than £1, c50-75p I’ve a sentimental London 2012 mug that broke a handle, in 2012.. years of dish washing it’s still solid... all my various tiny loco bits..from class 52 brake gear to oxfords mk3 door steps are held with the tip of a cocktail sticks worth. “Zel” is the blue boxed one, in gel form, the liquid is in a Black box, 2g tubes. The only gripe is after use it seals up the dropper (the secret to it not drying out), so you need a pin to pierce the dropper for resume, occasionally the lid seals itself to the dropper and you need pliers (seriously) to reopen it.. but it’s good stuff. So.. Caution, it does exactly what it says on the tin.. keep fingers away ! Edited October 18, 2018 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
