ST-1 build no 5

[stansby40]

There have been build that successfully used the FW liming before. You would have to dig back through build diaries from 4-5 years ago. Sorry I can’t remember who did it. But their build diary may hold the secret if you can find it. You could try using the search function on the forum and see what you can find.

Thanks fretworn seemed they used poly to finish it.

Recovered after much sanding and application of the tinted liming paint again. Thankfully I tinted enough to be able to do it again. Since this is an experiment I am applying straight FW poly with a foam brush as I have found in the past it leaves less marks than a brush. After 3 coats its looks Ok but will need a few more coats with more sanding with finer grits. I read somewhere where people use wipe on poly for the last few coats to get a smooth finish so might try this as well. At least the poly adheres to the liming finish.
