    Wow Planes Liquid Foam Sheeting, Has anyone tried this?

    Was wondering if anyone here has tried the Wow Planes Liquid Sheeting on there foam models. I've always wanted to get a glossy finish on my foam models. This stuff looks like it could do just that. Has anyone tried it? See Link.

      I want to order their MD-80 kit as I fly one in real life but disappointed they are most likely not making the kit at more.

        Yes. I tried it once. You just mix up your own batch with stuff you can buy at the hardware store. My experience was it was a little heavy but it does low out make a nice finish after some practice. It's also non toxic. Personally I still like using traditional urethane or resin and maybe light fiberglass. More sanding and more steps but in my mind may be less weight but I may not have used the liquid sheeting process properly and only "tried" it once.

          Looks very similar to results achieved with 1 part Foam Finish by Beacon. Dries hard and goes on easily. Great stuff for a model you want to paint, or protect the finish on.
