lolok,
i just wanted to ad a small warning abt 5min epoxy and zim -
while CA seems to dry too fast, 5 min epoxy will seem to take FOREVER.
i had two problems. first, i think the epoxy was on too thick, despite my best attempts for 'thin coat'. next, in the 5 minutes or so of cure time, the sheet that i tried it on shifted slightly out of position!
other than that, it worked perfectly (ha, ha)
my Zim was PE (for the tamiya panther)
i did better working my way across, but here you have to be careful that you are well aligned, or when you get to the far side, it will be off a bit.
very frustrating.
if i could do it all over again (heaven forbid!), i would use CA, but w/ slower cure time
(15-30 seconds maybe)
i am not trying to scare you.
i am pretty inexperienced compared to most of the crew here.
which makes me perfect for listing "beginner's mistakes" :-)
just wanted to tell you a few things to watch out for.
