Woodland Scenics Smooth It Product Questions
Posted by mattm16 on Monday, October 16, 2023 10:17 AM

Hello:

I am new here and getting back into model railroading.  I have a question on the product Smooth It.  I am using it for a roadway throughout the layout.  The layout is in N scale and I have determined that the width of the road would be 2 5/8 inches long.  How would I determine how many feet 4oz of Smooth It will cover?  Or should I just use the tape to cover the length of the road and not worry about doing sections?  Just keep making batches and cover as much as possible as I go?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks; however; I didn't see the answer to my question.  I didn't know if there was a formula (4 oz of Smooth It = 8 inches of roadway X amount wide).  I guess I will just experiment and see how far 4 oz gets me.

There wasn't one there.  The Instructions say it makes a 28 foot, 2 lane road in HO.  I don't know if that means the 2 lane road is 28' wide or they mean that it makes an actual 28 foot road, in HO.    It certainly isn't 28 scale feet.     Please report back.
