[simpits-tech] Panel making??

[Jonas Frazier]

Hi:
As for a sealer,  I'm a big model airplane builder. I use Future Floor 
Polish to seal the paint,  a coat or two,  then I decal, then another two 
coats,  then paint details(chipped paint,  exhaust stains, etc...),  another 
two coats, then if the paint is flat,  then use testors flat sealer. The 
testors comes in a tiny spray can. To use Future,  you have to have an 
airbrush of some sort. If you don't have access to one,  then use testors 
gloss sealer. Whether you are going to use the Testors Gloss,  of Future,  
you have to seal the paint with either of these Gloss sealers. Hope this 
helps.
