Doughnut Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Being a bit of a 'Transfer fetishist', might I suggest the Transfer option to the blue stripes? I know the stanchions have lots of folds and crevaces, but a bit of Microsol and you're laughing! Needed.......1.sheet of Crafty computer white transfer paper, some blue paint, a sharp knife, straight edge, 1 bottle of Microsol, 1 bottle of Microset. Cotton bud. Paint sheet of transfer paper with blue paint and let dry. Cut thin strips of now blue transfer paper. Dunk in water and apply strip to stanchion. Dab with Microsol/cotton bud when in right place and leave for a minute. Then with the cotton bud press transfer into crevaces and adjust to right position again. Dab with a bit of Microset and you're done!! Nice neat straight edge stripes. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few Bleeder's on here................... Wanting to consider, method's of attaching people to platform surface.................. Once platform 1, is in place,it will be difficult to scene shift figure's,on 1, because platform 2/3 and foot over bridge,will be in the way. Tacky Wax, is one method I've used, but what is it's lasting properties, does anyone know,how long a figure stay's upright,using it ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcredfer Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I did see a quote from a Museum, claiming that they use the stuff and it had been there for many years, holding various objects upright. The fact that is is Wax based would indicate that it's longevity was highly likely, as wax lasts for many decades, some perhaps centuries. Had a few Bleeder's on here...................
