After removal of all the screws,cleaning up the joints with a chisel,then a light hand sand with a sander block and 60 grit paper,we were ready to apply the first mix of epoxy putty (we supply the parts to make this) there will be at least two more sessions of epoxy putty to apply,this is the part where things slow down as we sand and putty,its a 24 hr wait untill we can do the next stage,eventually we will use thin epoxy (supplied) and a 75mm foam roller to seal the entire Toylander body before we move to the painting stage.
Part one of the application of epoxy filler.
A smooth and level finish is what your trying to achieve,the epoxy filler will add massive strength to the Toylanders body,we use no wood cleats to support the body joints as with our epoxy and finger joint build,they are just not required.
Use a 50mm wide painters blade to apply your epoxy and micro balloons mix.
Filling and working cleanly is important,remember the finished surface will only be as good as your preperation.
