Final glue bit and sanding last night

 

[Wurger]

Looking very nice Harrison. Good job. Now you have to fill these gaps with the Super glue at all areas where it hasn't been done so far. Then again sanding in order to get the smooth matt surface. Use the needle for the glue applying. For sanding use the orange or balck sandpaper initially and them the grey one. And a question, have you tried to sand with the grey sandpaper and water?

 

[B-17engineer]

No, what does that do? Thanks very much also!

 

[Wurger]

Some sandpapers work better when they are wet.

 

[B-17engineer]

Oh, I see. I just got back from an orthodontist appointment. In a few minutes (more like 45 minutes.) I have piano and some school work, but I'll get on my model soon!

 

[Wurger]

I see...

 

[B-17engineer]

Yea, busy day. But I would've been home an hour ago if the 'doctor' (I don't believe in what she did, she deserves the title) broke 4 parts of my braces..... I ended up spending 50 extra minutes in the office....

 

[Wurger]

Do you have problems with your teeth?

 

[B-17engineer]

Well, I mean there fine, the doctor said I could've done without braces, my dad was like yes! 10,000 dollars I don't have to spend and my mom said even if I don't need them she wants my teeth straight....

But most peoples teeth aren't straight.

 

[Wurger]

I see...the reason is a lack of training I think.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes I bet, I was pretty mad when she was like "I broke 4 brackets, you need to stay longer."

Cause I have a lot of work....

I did get a 5 page paper back today about the stock market with a 94% so that was good

 

[Wurger]

Ok.

Harrison these sandpapers and water are used for final sanding.So you can use the black then the orange firstly and then the grey as the one of the thinnest grade.And just then use the wet paper to see if it is possible to finish the sanding better.If the sandpaper can be used with water you can recoginze easily. Simply when sanding it gives a sound like scrubbing and the sanded surface becomes very matt and all scratches disappear.The wet sandpaper has to be soaked with water often.

 

[B-17engineer]

Okay,

First off I will do the glue.

Let it dry.

Start sanding with black or orange (Wet this one or no?)

Finish sanding with wet grey sandpaper.

 

[Wurger]

The black and orange don't have to be wet.Use them as these dry. What is the grade of the black and the orange and grey as well?

 

[B-17engineer]

I really don't know

I got these in a Testors finishing color set 2 years ago and didn't bother to look. Next time I'm at the hobby shop though, I am getting more supplies....!

 

[Wurger]

All is OK. Have a look at their back sides.There should be numbers printed.

 

[B-17engineer]

Sure thing.

 

[B-17engineer]

Emmmmmm, I don't see one. I looked at the black one which I'm yet to cut up and haven't seen one.

 

[B-17engineer]

Piano, be back soon!
