T. Schwarz Waterproofing

Grabbed some of this stuff, too. Seems much smoother. Might be better off with good ol' joint compound.

Experiment #2.

[Dave K.]

Bottom: the AK product lightly sanded. Top: the Mig freshly-applied with a brush.

I think I like the MIG better.

[Dave K.]

So far me too, Curt. I'll update tomorrow.👍🏻

Dave,
The Mig texture looks like concrete to me, but the scale seems too coarse for HO. Maybe it would be better for 1/35 dioramas. In that regard, the AK might be the better choice. But that could change after both dry and the Mig is sanded.

Roger that, George. It's intended for military modeling. Hope these experiments prove informative. Drives my wife nuts that instead of doing the tried-and-true I feel this compulsion to buy new stuff and mess with it. Guilty as charged.

[Dave K.]

Sanded, not painted.

Expansion joints. Not looking forward to this...give me a ruler and I'll still screw up a straight line. Don't know what proto size would be...9 x 12 looked reasonable.

[Dave K.]

Went back and scribed with the back of a #11.

[Dave K.]

Kinda soft and has a velvety feel. Pulls a little when using the dull edge. Not do with the sharp side, but then the line is too fine.

[Opa George]

Expansion joints make the difference. That looks great!

[Dave K.]

Thanks, George...still scribing.

CORRECTION: The material's not dragging...go deep and it's the pink foam being pulled.

Cracks...
