Hi Kit. What do you use that for in modelling?
A lot of people recommend them for turning "browned" decals clear again so thought I would give it a try

The sun is free :grin:
But the sun won't set Mrs Kit's nail gel :ha:

Coincidentally I've just received some Acrylic Nail Powder from ebay. Now, I know you know I like to look my best but this has a modelling use as an additive to superglue. In the same way that talc or cornflower has been used in the past to bulk it out and make it more sandable. Modelling supremo Paul Budzik has used dental acrylic powder extensively for years but it's not easy to get hold of if your not a dentist.

A comment by a subscriber on his YouTube channel suggested nail powder as an alternative and I thought I'd try it out.

Nice. Is that the bburago one? If yes then they do detail up well.

All the best.

This happened to pop up as a 'suggested' purchase on evilbay; I'd never seen or heard of such a thing before but it looked interesting.... :roll:

744 parts, some lovely PE, awesome looking moulded tyres (you can even read the makers name :grin: ) and a mean looking end result; what's not to like!
If anyone wants an in-box review, just holler and I'll see what I can do
