Making it strong

20 March, 2009

Done properly, with decent siding and internal support a foamboard base for a model railroad can be fairly strong. To strengthen further, I have ordered some resin. This is the same stuff they use when making surfboards. It doesn't attack the foam and 2-3 coats should give me the extra support I want.

There are some other pieces to be cut out and glued together yet, so the weekend should see more progression. When the layout is done and running I'll do a write up on it and some of the processes I used. I do not put partial projects online as they are being built (except blog entries) - "under construction" stuff is not for me.

All this is in-between handling client sites and redoing my blog software for download from it's site.
