Wilky Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 :( I made a huge boo boo. Yesterday I sprayed the my ship ( Revell's Hawaiian Pilot ) with Testor's Glosscote in preperation for weathering and decaling. Today I wanted to spray another coat, so I gave the hull a quick, light wipe using 97% ISO alcohol. Bad mistake! I really didn't think rubbing alcohol would damage the glosscote. The paint on the hull isn't damaged, but I have to repair the damage on the glosscote. I am thinking about spraying light coats, hoping this will fix it. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, if the glosscote was given a few days to cure would the alcohol have the same affect? By the way, I use 97% because I also use it to clean my mill and lathe. Thanks, Ron W.

Wilky Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks David, but will this repair the damage or do you mean to use Future from now on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M. Knights Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think it has a good shot at repairing the damage. You could always sand with some VERY fine grade sandpaper first. (1200 grit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
