Did you use any Spray-Mount! (Other sticky sprays are available!)
Nah - I don't have any spray adhesive.
Presumably the technique is to coat the hull part to be covered with a spray adhesive and then lay the cloth on to locate it ?
I have some questions about this: -
1. does the spray mount allow for a little movement before setting to allow any small wrinkles etc to be pulled-out so the cloth can be pushed and held in the correct place so that when the epoxy is brushed on afterwards it does not move around?
2. does the spray adhesive reduce the bond strength between the resin and the wood?
3. Is the spray mount just used as a "dab" here and there, or is it a total coating to laminate the cloth onto the wood before the final epoxy coat?
Whilst I am "on a roll" with the questions about fixing cloth coverings with finishing epoxy, I have a couple more - is it possible to clean the brush after use - or does every brush used have to be regarded as "disposable"?Also - the epoxy is quite thick and sticky - is there a thinner that can be used to thin the epoxy to make it easier to use and penetrate the wood and the cloth better - and if so - is this the same thinner that can be used to clean-up any brushes or spreaders that have been used?
Last question (you are hoping!), I would need to be able to buy any "thinner", cleaner, and spray mount "online" and have it delivered - any ideas on what to buy and where to buy it from that can also deliver?
Thanks for the time spend answering these questions - I guess other "first time coaters" could also benefit from this shared knowledge too!
