FAQ

The material Reddiprene38

  1. How do I use the material?
    See how to curve, press, cut, carve, glue and paint here

  2. Can the material be drilled?
    Yes, but the results are not as good as punching.

  3. Can the material be sanded?
    Yes, to achieve a rough surface. For a smooth surface we recommend carving.

  4. What do you recommend for gap filling?
    We recommend repeated use of Super Glue to fill any gaps.

  5. How long do I heat pieces for?
    Pieces should be heated with a hair dryer (not a heat gun), until the material is soft and pliable. It should then be held in place until it cools and becomes firm.

  6. How do I separate shaped lengths from the strip?
    Shaped lengths can be removed from the strips by simply tearing them off, or cut them off using a modelling knife. This method gives a cleaner finish than tearing.

  7. What type of glue should I use?
    Super Glue (Cyanoacrylate) is recommended for glueing Reddiprene38. We advise that you make sure that your models are cool before glueing. Please be careful when glueing, and follow the glue manufacturers guidelines.

  8. What scale are the patterned sheets?
    The patterned sheets are designed to complement 25-28mm which is approximately 1:64 - 1:72. The plain sheets and shapes can be used for any scale modelling.

  9. Health and Safety Advice?
    Please adhere to manufacturer's guidelines when using paints and Super Glue.
