Deere-est Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 what happed yes what happened mate :'( Tried the pre-treatment of the cladded ends with clear varnish as a stiffener. ... .they went soggy and had - with great difficulty, a Dremel and a craft knife not to mention a little bit of patieeeeeence in a Take That stylee - to be removed.. .. ... .. and binned. As you can see, I can see the lighter side to my tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 We all learn the hard way most of the time Hope it goes better next time Is it that craft card that you where cladding with \ did you try using polyester varnish as it is thicker usually than most Regards SMurF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Its called HAZA Original or something, it looks this bizzle but I could see any paint warping it so wanted to stop this happening. It did it anyway!!! A chap in a model shop said to try liquid silicon in an aerosol. Think I'll do some on scrap bits first!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 mm liquid silicon eh, best make sure the paints done to your desire otherwise touching up will be a pain, most paint wont bond to a silicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Tris mate i backed my card on 2mm balsa wood , on all my shed roofs . then sprayed with car paint / model paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 May I sugest some 1/64 ply from a good model shop stick the card to it with contact adhesive As this will allow it to bend around the profile of the foof and it will streanghthen the card for the sides and back Just a thought \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Cheers boys. Me being grumpy will never get the job done. That ply sounds good Smurf,don't want it too thick but at 1/64 that could just be the magic I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I was planning 20cm wide by 25cm tall for my barn, equateds to 8m tall and 6.4m wide. Does that sound anywhere near a real shed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
