Roads on an incline
Posted by train_frk-0079 on Saturday, January 31, 2009 12:23 AM

When I used Sculptamold on my roads (on an incline), the road just washed down the hill every time.  Is this because of the dilution, or does it work on inclines?  It was a pain to do it all over, since my layout is an industrial yard, but is it worth it if you have to do it more than twice?  Is there supposed to be a base layer under to prevent this?  Sound off.

Peace

 Sounds like you're making your mixture too runny.  I usually mix sculpatmold to the consistency of cream cheese, then spread it on with a putty knife.  Goes on sticky, and never runs.  Try it again with less water, and let me know what you come up with...
