Well, prepped a bunch of bodies and chassis for the winter - which finally arrived today in St. L. Started with a Stacy Buick using a set up of CherryRun decals I've had for at least 10+ years. No issues with the decals but the Solvaset attacked the Future which I had coated on the body 2 weeks prior. It turned white in a couple areas which I thought it ate thru to the paint. It hadn't and even I noticed on a Q-tip that there was no blue coming off. So in haste to remedy the situation I took blue masking tape to the hood chevron and Stacy on the hood. Now I regret it because the white disappears in a little while. Never seen that before. Probably unable to replace the decals, the JD Stacy with the red stripe, white border for Sauter or Hill.


..aarrgghh ..aarrgghh ..aarrgghh ..aarrgghh

So much for a good start to a modeling winter.

Thanks for the vent.

Salvaged the pa8nt, stripped all the future off. Lesson learned don't use future before Solvaset.

I learned that lesson as well, however I did find that another coat of future fixes it after everything is good and dry.
