Adhesive powders

Don't cry Matthew. BLI seems intent on producing the entire PRR roster!

Steve, I haven't had the greatest results from dullcoat, so I don't use it anymore. The dull finish is from some weathering powders. Forget what kind, but they have an adhesive in them that is activated by rubbing.

Val

Please go take a look at those powders and share the brand name with us...sounds like an interesting idea (adhesive weathering powder) and i sure would love to forego the Dullcoat spraying if possible. Thanks.

Thanks Steve and Brakie!

E Mo, they're Bragdon weathering powders - I highly reccommend them.

Thanks Ron.

Thought you might like to see the other side. This was shot on my new yard. I'm still testing the track so nothing is scenicked yet.
