I have lost the motivation to finish this one (the nineteen 97 minimal) … the sticky / tacky filler coat slowed me down and caused some stress, then the hot days have hit so getting into the shed is a mission … but, as always, the calm before the storm has delivered puss waves so I have been spending some time back in the shed …
The baking paper solution worked, to a degree … reducing the tacky / stickiness by approx 50%, but still had the gummy paper … so I reverted to the hot soapy water while sanding trick, and ploughed through the two coats … then, out came my very limited creative abilities to try and cover up some of the earlier stuff ups, only to end up then washing all the paint off since it looked like someone had vomitted on it … it was worse than an pre schoolers art work, serious, it was bad … and NO, there are no photo’s …
So, back to the drawing board, and another coat of yellow paint onto the sanded filler coat, which I have now just covered with another coat of filler using MEKP and not UV … this is a fresh batch mixed well this morning, so, let’s hope it does not go tacky! You can see the earlier issues in this pic …
