Everyone, I thought I would let you know the finish evaluation of doing the Temporary Winterization on my 88 Big Gun. Below is my post on the product awhile back:
...I lightly sprayed it over a large piece of cardboard. The results were amazing. However, you have to be careful handling it because it takes forever to dry and does not really harden very much...which is what I wanted. I want to be able to take it off...I do not want it to ruin the paint..it does not.!! How lucky could a novice like me get? I then took a model painting brush and just dusted off the parts I wanted to have exposed. Wunderbar!!..Awesome...no masking...and it can always be removed easily with no paint damage. Remember this stuff is seasonal. I know funny I got it in June. Here in America some stores already have Christmas stuff out. They have everything in America..Anyway I re-flocked the front and used the brush to expose the detail opaque beneath and sort of make spider web freeze marks. Next I sprayed a quantity of it a few mills tick on the card board and winterized my trees and shrubs..by dabbing them in it until the desired result is obtained.
Again the product was:
Sno Blower by Chase products Co. The best part is that it is a non-solvent base product. It contains no CFC's...heck it's green man!!
It cleans up with water....and has..no smell.....I repeat no SMELL!! Let me tell you I have hypo-allergenic family members and they were ready to send me out the door but I did it all at the dining room table.
Anyway, the other day I wanted to De-Winterize it and took the hose to it. Seconds later...presto.....the organic coating is gone. No damage to the piece, let it dry and it is ready for a summer display. Take a look.
Well I hope this might be useful. It is an organic product and what a great Diorama Tool. Have fun.
