[@Oderick99]

great backscene, i would never have thought of photographing existing models.

Thanks, ....it's the cheapskate in me....plus I couldn't find any available that suited, Regards Keith

[@kellypaws]

I look forward to these. Although I love the running sessions. No one talks through their running sessions with same 'sense of place'.

[@KV12543]

Thanks Kelly, always great to receive your kind comments, Regards Keith

I think this looks amazing Keith!
As others have said, pritt stick doesn't cause bleed. I actually used cheap double sided tape for mine.
Just a suggestion, but I use the cheapest cartridges on ebay for my printing, and as I run a small business I get through a lot and it needs to look perfect. Which it does every time.

[@KV12543]

Thanks, I also use cheap cartridges which are fine for all normal uses. Question....can Pritt stick be smoothed out or does it leave small "bumps"? Regards Keith

[@kellypaws]

@@KV12543 When I've used Pritt (quite often), I'd say that the honest answer is, yes it can leave small bumps.
You can work away at it to try to smooth them out, which may work. But frankly it is quite lumpy stuff.

[@gs425]

@@KV12543 May I suggest just trying it. I believe that properly pressed down afterwards you won't see ridges. But a test is the easiest way.

Really looking good. As more fixing, I would suggest 3M Spray Mount (other brands are also available). Used this myself on home made prints are you get no bleed or bubbling. Hope this helps.

[@KV12543]

Thanks Paddy....I might try the .Spray Mount next time....do you spray the back of the paper or the Backscene and does it allow slight repositioning? Regards Keith

[@paddycoleman1472]

@@KV12543 Hi Keith, It depends on which spray you get. To my knowledge, all of them are applied to the back of the paper but they vary in strength. The lightest will effectively turn your paper in to a giant Post It note and can be removed/repositioned easily. Personally, I went for the higher grade which gives you a short period of time where you can reposition but then dries to a permanent bond.

This looks great Keith 😊

[@KV12543]

Thanks, its coming on....albeit a little slowly, Regards Keith

[@tezza72uk49]

Good job Keith, the end effect works well. Can I recommend Pritt Stick for this job, I have glue many inkjet printed sections with success and no bleeding. I am missing your running sessions!

[@KV12543]

Thanks for the comments re Pritt Stick. I too am missing running sessions but at the moment my time is taken up by working on the hidden sidings section of the layout! Regards Keith

[@henrybest4057]

You can use Pritt stick (other brands are available) to glue your prints to the backscene. Its not wet, so no bleeding of the colours.

[@KV12543]

Thanks Henry but is Pritt stick (or similar) smooth or can you see slight undulations once it dries? Regards Keith.
