4c Saga (cook'n) . . .

Steve Mackay


>Let me know if this is gett'n old folks ! After hearing many opinions and reading a lot there was still no definitive answers for applying Japanning. Sooooo . . .seat-o-the-pants here . . . After the first coat and two days drying time, yes Virginia, still VERY tacky. I was sure another coat on this was going to result in a VERY goopy mess, yes ?(We'll ASSUME this stuff will wind up to be it's own solvent) OK, lets cook it and see what happens.OH, MY ! 400 for 1 hour. NO MORE TACKY ! Of course it still looks like a coat of VERY dirty engine oil. Going in to put on a second coat. Oh . . . took my life in my hands and put it in the kitchen oven (pucker). . . NO SMELL ! . . .(un-pucker).

>This isn't gettin old but man is this a saga!!! You should wrap this all up into one post after you are done so we can have the full story in one spot. Good luck with the second coat.

>No way is this getting old! I think it�s great having been there done it myself. If it works out for you I am betting that plane will go to a special place, um like it�s own custom box. I agree put the whole thing in one message after it�s all done with some pictures and you could become more famouser! (I know that�s not a word but you might be a red neck if you cook tools in your oven!)

>Steve,

We are all sitting on the edge of our seats, waiting for the pics!

I second the motion to make an article with a step by step tutorial of your entire restoration process.

Thanks again,

Martin, waiting impatiently for the next pic!

How would one . . .

Steve Mackay


>go about doing it ? Can you just write it in "word", save the "document" the "attatch" it like a "pic"? I found anything you attatch has to be below 40 KB or the system here hangs up. Also, I tend to write Militaresse so some might need a GI handy !

>Steve,

I can�t spell worth dirt so I type in word, hit edit, select all, copy, then paste to the message block at woodcentral. As for the pictures I just follow the instructions for posting pictures from the archives.

I don't know, but Ellis will...

Martin from Granbury


>Ellis and Steve,

Steve's plane saga deserves article consideration. I imagine if you send the text and pics to Ellis, he can do the rest. I hope to see it in the permanent articles section.

Thanks to both of you,

Martin

That's it

Dan Donaldson


>Sounds like it would make a great article. Just write it up any way that you like. We can take care of making it look pretty. Email the pictures separately at full size. It is better to start with the full picture and resize it to fit the article. Just make sure to label the pictures so that we can tell which text they go with. Send to articles@woodcentral.com. That way, we can immortalize it for posterity ;-)
