Thanks Dan but thats not very helpfull is it
You show us the perfect textured material and then tell us we cant get any of it
You even tell us you wanted asking so you could give us this useless information
Dodge, I get balsa from a local model/rc shop. It varies in price but the precut strips about 3ft long are around 50p and sheets,4"x3' about £1.00.
I attached the fur in strips and did apply watered down pva. Because you are adding a lot more moisture which has to evaporate before the latex can kick in and set it takes hours to dry out. The fur is not condusive either being man made but it works eventually.
Try and get good air flow as this helps. Warm air flow even better but air is better than warmth. I resorted to sticking them in front of the tumble dryer outlet hose. I probably would try a stronger pva solution with less water next time myself. It should work neat but it would be hard work to apply. My mate in Southbourne keeps telling me there is a decent model(railway?) shop near him and a better one in Poole?
