And... do you paint first. Your blog tend to gloss(!) over that bit quite quickly.<br />Richard: I dispensed with the paint on Rhiw and just rubbed the W&D with my fingers leaving a coat of skin as the colouring.<br />CFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293175883157636914.post-11356503724643820032015-08-26T10:23:58.099+01:002015-08-26T10:23:58.099+01:00Was going to suggest trying talc onto wet grey pai...Was going to suggest trying talc onto wet grey paint?

A few hours later you should have a firm surface which can be lightly sanded to create worn spots if you so wish. That's how I did the unpaved section of platform on Llangunllo along with the road surfaces and parts of the goods yard.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458331893613937280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293175883157636914.post-18290798296354467352015-08-25T14:06:40.273+01:002015-08-25T14:06:40.273+01:00I used that on Rhiw which looked OK as it was repr...I used that on Rhiw which looked OK as it was representing newly laid stuff.
