I didn't check out the video yet but May check out the website you mention.

The X-24 Bug build will be up next on my build blog when I finish up the Arapaho/Kokopelli.
After printing off the shroud and fins the fin positions were masked off and the sheets got two coats of Keylon clear spray to seal the ink.
I felt it was still too weak so then I brushed on the Future clear acrylic. I usually dip the brush, wipe off some of the excess then brush on the printed cardstock. For me, if it is applied too thick the Future runs like water.
Future (like anything else) takes a few tries to get a feel for it. On the X-24 Bug I brushed it on before gluing it together.
The videos (if they were recorded) haven't been posted yet. They usually go up a few days after a NEFAR launch. |
