Enough to try out on the wingtips anyways.

Then you'll at least know if you should buy more from Ed.

Hey Mike,

Sent you a pm but no response so here it goes. I can swing by your place Saturday late in evening to accept yoru generous offer of Flite Metal from Ed.
It's better to come by myself then asking anyone if that is ok with you.
Mike didn't thought even with our differences i would get offer like this and support from you. Please me let me know. I appreciate it very much and thanks. Mike you are the MAN!!...hehehe

Cheers
Sam

No problem, but the real thanks goes to Ed Clayman.

It's building season, I still have more.
All you Mustang fans, , , , wana a sample to try out?

Toronto area - for pick-up only

[mrkil]

thanks again mike for offering your time to give out these samples

here's some pics of first attempts







i had better luck in a small strip

the wrinkles in the larger peice are from my rushing and in experiance.

it does conform and streatch well.

i'll have to order some. hopefully my emails to Ed don't keep bouncing back to me

Jeff, , ,

Did you sand the surface a bit smoother, maybe about a 220 or 300 paper?

I had two burnishing sticks from Ed to basically show guys what to use.

I found another way to press it down.

These burnishing sticks seem to be a pressed paper product of some sort.

So, , , I got some cardboard, from the back of a pad of paper, and simply folded it up a few times to make a stick. It worked very well and did not scratch the foil at all.

If you pop over tonight I'll give you more to play with. I'm home all evening.
You can strip off the wrinkled up one and try it again.

thanks mike

i did sand the smaller section with 800 grit and that section came out perfect

the larger section was un sanded and not applied properly (me being overzealous)

no need for another sample, as i'm sure with the proper prep and patience it will be a fine product to use.
