I'll check that out. Thanks. If it was only for the scale model building I'd be pretty resistant to the cost.. but if I had a good full scale vehicle product we'd likely try it on a future tractor project. Trina's 1045 for instance, has a very rough surface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally this is lacquer based and it will shrink under the paint allowing your imperfections to show through. Can you give a rough idea how thick/thin it needs to be limited to? We talking like a 1/16" ? Or less.....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use it as the very last coat when doing filler work to get rid of any pin holes or minor imperfections. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ucp-26006 This product runs a very close second. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/fantastic/u-pol-fantastic-glaze/upl2/up0922 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wii be fine for minor imperfections. USC 32035 Red Glazing Putty is a lacquer-based, one-component, fast-drying putty. It is designed for fine-finish filling of minor imperfections like pinholes, scratches, and chips. Edited 4 hours ago by Achto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lacquer might be a solvent for styrene! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd had the same thought... I believe it to be safe with thin coats. The recommendation is from a friend who's also a very long time modeler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
