| Paint Strippng
Hi Everyone,
Noobie here to your forum, though have been a guest many a time!
I need some advice from any quarters in regards to Taking Paint of a Model!
If I explain my problem all will be clear.
I have almost finished the Build of a 1/12th Scale SRN6 mk6 Hovercraft that is constructed from Balsa and ply, but mostly covered in 1/8 Birch ply! This is one of the first Balsa scale models I have attempted to paint ( my other models are all Constructed from Abs Plastics etc) and after spraying the Main strucure I realised that I did not use enough sanding sealer etc and the Grain has spoiled the finish some what. Attempting to rectify the situation is becoming desperate because I know seem to be getting a reaction between the different layers of primer/top coat when attempting to respray the effected areas!!!
Is there a way to Strip all paint off in the same way that Bodyshops do with Paintstripper that will not Harm the Balsa/Ply and adhesives! I could spend hours ( if not days with Sanding Paper but , 1; I seem to break through to the ply in certain areas whist the surronding paint stays defiant even though I am using a sanding block, 2; Because of the way of construction, ply over Balsa Assemblys/stringers I am running the risk of " Starved Horse " look where the ply deflects past the Formers when passing over with block! Ideally I would like to get back to a Fresh Canvas and learn from my mistakes! Please someone tell me thats possible!
