<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Sealing base flock?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Sealing base flock? lol.

I'm using a mix of fine sand, vermiculite and limestone chips as a flock, it was adhered with PVA glue I'm just not sure it will hold on well enough. I've done a second, watered down layer of PVA to see if that will do the trick but want to be sure before I have to spend hours cleaning and re-flocking if I mess it all up.

Any help would be appreciated, cheers ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4723886.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4723886.page GMT Sealing base flock? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4723985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4723985.page GMT Sealing base flock?

I flock with sand all the time before I prime. The primer helps seal all the sand on the base. So when I paint it the sand doesn't soak up a lot of paint. I am sure your will be fine, but if you are that worried take a spare base and flock that and then prime it to see what happens.


If all my bases didn't have models on them... Lol. I'll just try it with one model first and deal with it afterwards if it goes crazy. Thanks for the advice, hopefully the primer will help like you said.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4723994.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4723994.page GMT Re:Sealing base flock? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4724394.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4724394.page GMT Sealing base flock? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4724791.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/473895/4724791.page GMT Sealing base flock?

This is my style. I use Woodland Scenics ballast or talus and attach it exactly as quoted above. I even do a 2nd watered down layer on grassy flock. What's more, I do this exact same thing when flocking tables. I've been using the same Eldar models since 2001 or so, and they're still holding firm. 4-5 times since then (we're talking 11 or so YEARS), a chunk will break off and I super glue it back on.

I can 100% verify that, in my experience, this is a tested and proven method that works.
