Micro-Mesh

[EW]

I'm seriously considering to buy a Micro-Mesh kit. I intend to use it for buffing and "transform" matt finishes/colors into glossy ones, so I don't have to airbrush a clear varnish before applying the decals.

 

But one thing that concerns me, is the stains that must be "built up" on the MM (I sure does on the nail polishers I use frequently) So what will happen if I work on surface that's flat black and then move on to flat white for instance? Will the stains from the MM "color" the next surface or not? I'm not prepared to spend roughly 28 USD on MM, for every new aircraft that I start on. Thanks in advance.

 

Almost forgot. It's been unusually quiet in this section for a while now. How come? I myself is currently working on a Bf-109G/R6 (Trop) and a F-104C. Both in quarter scale. What about you

I dunno about Micro Mesh, but on the above quote, well, (ssshhh! this is a secret!) I'm secretly plotting to take over the world, Metro Manila first, then the world. Promise you won't tell, ok?

 

Seriously, been busy with studying and I haven't touched much on any of my kits. For some reason, I've become sleepy despite having good night sleeps.

 

Jacques, OTOH, is working on a lot - and I must stress A LOT - of projects which I hope he shares in this forum as well, right Jacques? (Come on! Show 'em your HEMTT with Shilka! )

Just an update. The MM works very well. It creates a real shiny look. Even better is that clear coated surfaces that "aren't up to standard" can be restored, just beautifully. In short I can only recommend MM.

Hey EX, How well does it work on the black to white problem you proposed in your first message?

[EW]

Shouldn't pose a problem, since I tried it on white vs sand yellow, plain old fashioned yellow and light blue on the same sweep so to speak. You have to be careful though, to get rid of the build up of residue, that are easily brushed away. I find it very surprising indeed that so few car modellers, over here at least, don't have the MM kit(s). After all, they're the chaps who wants the most shine after all.

 

BTW, I've been wanting to ask for a time. What's exactly is a "hoser" Just curious. Stessed, gotta to go.

 

Cheers

To know what a hoser is, you must speak to the oh so wise Canadians among us.

 

Seriously, a "hoser" is usually used in the phrase "Take off you hoser." as uttered by Bob and Doug McKenzie on Saturday Night Live and from their movie "Strange Brew".

 

I would supposer hoser is like looser. And I am still not one, eh!
