    Chris
    I have seen that in Walmart for years now. I never bought it. I was not ready to try everything I come across in a store. But after watching this I will be using this regularly now on any foamy I want to spray paint. This is the answer to my always wondering where to get a good silver paint on my foam. The best silvers I found eat foam. Not now. I just happen to be rebuilding my USCG Hu-16 Albatross. I need a couple coats on the V bottom. so I can do a repaint. This will help here. Many more uses also. Great expose' you have done here helping everyone.

      @billcullen616 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I saw this video and thought I'd give it a try. Modge Podge on wings and polycrylic fuselage. I put three coats of Modge Podge on and sanded with 340 before, between and after. I then sprayed a white primer and started applying paint details with delicate green tape. The Modge Podge wings were tough to sand out because the streaky uneven finish it leaves but I got there. The problem I had was in pulling the tape for paint trim, the Modge Podge would separate from the EPO (not break). The loose ares couldn't stay so I tried sanding which basically starts a hole in the loose Modge Podge and then big ares separate completely leaving a complete mess. The fuselage came out fine. I ended up getting new wings rather than work to fix that weak foundation.

    • @charlesbovalis6591
      @charlesbovalis6591 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@billcullen616 Based on your feedback, I got a better idea for the wings then. Apply first a coat or two of polycrilic, sand the last coat with 320 or 400 sandpaper, then apply a coat or two of ModPodge. I believe this will solve the "peeling" problem. I love experimenting with "what if" scenarios. Thank you for your feedback.

    I have been using Modge Podge OUT DOOR type. I may have gotten an old bottle but mine was THICK, and I mean thick! I had to thin it down to get it to work. I used it over my repaired areas and can say it does work. I havent done any durability testing on it yet. When I do, I will make a video on it. I did notice it is very shiny. I plan on testing it many different ways so You are definitely on to something. Some foam planes are easily damaged. My concern is brush marks. No one with a highly detailed plane is going to want to see brush strokes or shiny surfaces. I have thinned Modge Podge down and used it, it still works well.

  • @charlesbovalis6591
    @charlesbovalis6591 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ok - tricky question - at the 14:27" mark when you hold the canopy after the first coat has dried, I see a lot of tiny imperfections on the surface ( assuming of course I want to create a perfectly glass smooth surface ) so my question to you is this: would you rather fill and sand the canopy first with some light spackling compound to achieve a glass smooth surface and then apply a coat or two of the Mod Podge hard shell or you follow a different sequence ? Thank you for your time again.

    This sure sounds like the PVA adhesive that we use a lot of in the UK.

    Wonder how much weight a 2 coat or more to form a ding resistant shell would add to any rc aircraft.

    You can vac-form over bare styrofoam if you make one pull over the other. Yes, it picks up a slight texture and you have to cut whatever of the first pull that will interfere with the second. But-- the second pull smooths out the surface.
    Mod Podge is pretty cool stuff. I had not really paid attention to the other varieties. Which is unlike me but I usually shop like a driven man. And, now I know!

    • @MrChief101
      @MrChief101 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, the first form melts some of the foam. That's why you do it one on top of the other-- the first one acts as a barrier. The second one comes out just fine. Works great.

    • @scottfirman
      @scottfirman 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mike I would recommend this on all nose cones. It does leave a shine, however, you can get a waterbased dull coat finish to apply over the modge podge that should knock down the shine. Look for Model Masters Dull coat in the paint section of your local hobby shop. Make sure you test a small area first.

Would very much appreciate your feedback. Either way, I will give this product a try and do my own tests but I wanted to know if you had an answer to my question.

    • @damoncrowfeather4655
      @damoncrowfeather4655 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know this is an older question, but it is my understanding that Titebond I and II can be painted over once it has dried. I have read that once Titebond III has cured, it will not bond to itself, if another layer is applied. I would assume, if true, paint may not bond well to cured Titebond III as well.

      RCWeaven FPV Use minwax waterbased sealer. It is self leveling and leaves no brush strokes. I use sponge brushes. You can use it on canopys too. I use it on ALL my RC planes. It makes the foam stronger, less likely to get scratched, chipped and dent proof. I have been using it for years. clean up is soap and water.

    • @F3HDemonDriver1

      RC DemonDriver How is the flow as far as finish? can you airbrush it? Im not arguing the use. I plan on testing the two and doing a video. I really want to put them to the test as far as durability. I dont land very gracefully sometimes, my planes get scoffed up. Most paints on RC foam planes chip, scratch and wear horribly. If we can seal the finish right from the box, things will stay nicer longer. I think anything we can use that saves the finish will help. I think making a video and testing sealers would be a great idea. As I have time and extra planes, I think I will give it a shot. Everyone benifits from our videos. See mine at RC Hobbyist Extreme on You- Tube. I cover several cost saving things as well as starting a Nitro Plane restore.

      How does this future floor finish handle EPS foam or EPO foam? Read instruction could't find the solvent in the product.

    • @scottfirman
      @scottfirman 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      edwen303 Its an acrylic, it shouldn't bother anything. As with anything you use,paints,glues,epoxys,always try a small amount in an area that is not noticeable before doing the whole project. Pretty much any product you use states that right on the package. I use acrylic paints and use future in a spray gun and have never had an issue with yellowing.

  • @scottfirman
    @scottfirman 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Future acrylic floor finish is self leveling and works great as a sealer on model planes, foam projects. I usually use Minwax waterbase sealer also. I didnt hear you say it is fuel safe, meaning you could use a nitro fuel around it. I have clear cast, but never used it for a model, other than water scenes. If it locks the foam down for any type of paint, it may work for protection of foam if you paint it. Nitro fuel if it has gone bad, eats paint reguardless. I coated my Waco electric RC plane and those products do save the finish on a plane with a weak paint job. These products do add some weight to the plane but not much. Out side, I never use a mask, just spray so all product goes downwind. Always start spraying paint off the product, spray long ways across the product and carry past the project. There are videos out there that teach proper paint techniques. Its not the paint that generally eats the paint, its the solvents. if you keep your distance over 4 inches, you should be good. Modge podge does leave brush strokes, where as minwax doesnt, it is self leveling, as is future floor finish. You can even coat canopys and any clear windows with future and it wont hurt the plastics.

    • @F3HDemonDriver1
      @F3HDemonDriver1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      RC Hobbyist Extreme, Thanks, I was thinking about using Minwax. You can also find spray cans of other water base clear coats that would work I would think. One of my first 3 ch. foam planes I used clear packing tape, and it looked OK.

  • @22alexii
    @22alexii ปีที่แล้ว

    you should know that you can prime foam with any oil base paint or even polyurethane.
    these oil base or paint thinner base coatings do not dissolve foam.
    it's the acetone etc. in spray paints that does the damage
    We stripped the paint off of an Arrow Corsair using packing tape (pulls the paint right off) and coated it with 'minwax wipe on poly' as a hard primer and painted it with oil based semi-gloss or you can use any spray paint on the poly primer

    Foam is melting because of the aerosol from the paint. If you spray to close its the aerosol that will eat almost all foam. Spray 12 inches away and foam won’t melt. Regardless if it’s bare or Mod podge.

    Hi DD,
    I am a new subscriber to your channel, and recently came across you Mod Podge video... a couple of questions regarding the product.
    Looking on Amazon, there appears to be two Mod Podge formulas available Mod Podge Waterbase Sealer, Glue and Finish (16-Ounce), CS15063 Hard Coat and Mod Podge Hard Coat for Furniture, 8-Ounce (CS11245) The former description fits..., but the product number differs for what is shown in your video, and the later matches the product number but differs as being for furniture? Thanks for your time in clarifying this issue...

      For foam shell you can use any PVA Polyvinyl acetate glue. After drying it will create shell to protect foam from paint chemicals. For decal covering it's not good because it will yellowish by the time.

      Tom Heetderks That paper is also a structural part of the foam. Use minwax water based sealer instead. Its self leveling and works great on the foam board. I use it all the time on all my foamys. Oh, future floor finish does the same thing. You can get it at the dollar store.

      Tom Heetderks Guys in the modelling world have been using it for a while now. Minwax is a sealant used in the wood working industry. I used it on all my kitchen cabinets.

      xKmotx it only takes a tiny amount of water to thin it down, I have sprayed it with a 2mm nozzle gravity feed gun, but theres a trick to stop it from blotching and orange peeling, pre clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol then take a soft microfibre cloth, dampen it with an even thinner mix of mod podge (pva) and scrub the surface with it, leaving very little behind but basically pre wetting the surface like a prime. let it dry 15 minutes then spray, you will get a good wet glassy coat with excellent adhesion.
