"Thanks, Rain. The timing of your article was rather fortuitous for me. I was asked to make a stage prop for my 6-yr old's play in March. I was figuring on using insulation foam panels for the buck, but wasn't sure what I was going to do for the outer surface. The tinted jc sounded like a perfect solution, inexpensive, easy (relatively) to work with outside of the clean up and fussiness of applying with a spray gun. Thanks again!"

"Rain, can you describe the method you learned at Pratt regarding thinning joint compound and applying it to models?"
