more | Solarfilm Solartrim Flourescent Dark Red (31cmx91cm) (TF8/17)
Glossy, sticky-back trim film, supplied on a paper support sheet. Very thin and flexible. Used for colour decoration on film covered models. Can be cut out to make lettering, insignia etc. Best results are if applied to a smooth surface. Does not adhere properly to rough or textured surface e.g. Solartex. Can be moulded round wingtips and domed shapes by heating and stretching like Solarfilm. The required letters or shapes are drawn on the back of the support paper and cut out. The Solartrim shape is then peeled off the paper and smoothed into position. Large or complex shapes are best applied 'wet' i.e. peeled off the paper under soapy water in a bowl and the Solartrim lifted out of the water, placed on the surface and slid into the correct position. Surplus water is squegeed away with a pad of tissue. | |

more | Solarfilm Litespan Yellow (F9/01)
Very light & thin synthetic fibre tissue that has been factory 'doped' with a totally fuelproof and waterproof resin. Airtight, waterproof, and fuelproof 'as ironed on'. For use as a superior replacement for regular tissue/dope. LITESPAN is about three times as strong and puncture resistant as regular doped tissue. Uses a separate adhesive (Balsaloc - a water based emulsion) that is applied to the model framework, allowed to dry, and then the Litespan ironed on. Applied to sheet balsa wood, Litespan provides a quick method to make the wood surface smooth and paintable. | |

more | Ripmax Balsaloc Covering Primer (F/110)
Water-based emulsion that dries to a clear colourless film. It is an excellent heat -seal adhesive and is used to attach Fibafilm, Litespan and Airspan. Apply Balsaloc to the model framework with a scrap of flexible plastic sponge and allow to dry, then iron on the covering. A very thin coat rubbed in to the surface of hardwood (e.g. ply), when dried, improves the adhesion of iron-on coverings to the wood. Being water-based, Balsaloc is not effective on plastic surfaces e.g. iron-on films. It is most effective when used on porous surfaces. If Balsaloc is spilled, wash off with cold water immediately. Once dried the material cannot be removed with cold water. Dried Balsaloc can be removed with Solarlac thinners or acetone. Balsaloc must be protected against frost - if allowed to freeze it becomes useless. | |
more | Ripmax Prymol (F1300)
Colourless liquid for use on Solarfilm, Solarspan, metals and some other plastics as an etch primer. After drying it improves the adhesion of many iron-ons, adhesives and paints to the treated surface. Applied to Solarfilm before applying an overlapping piece of Solarfilm, the overlap seam will be stronger, it will resist the entry of fuel and its edges will not lift even after long use.
Apply Prymol with a small pad of cloth or tissue. Use enough to moisten the surface, then allow to dry for a few minutes. When spraying paint, mask off as normal, spray a thin coat of Prymol, allow to dry and spray the paint as normal.
