gh,

You have been giving this some serious thought! Or, maybe you have a really good synonym app?

You would think GH would have presented the name, "Defecator", but maybe he's saving that one for himself.

Tbzep- that's a really nice looking one !

Even for ME, "Defecator" is just too rude for a flying platform.
I like "Agitator" best.
Jump in, stir up the crap, then exit before it all BLOWS UP.

I use a REALLY good synonym app.... my BRAIN !
Those are just a few of my favorite things....

Forgot to add one of the BEST possible names; STINKOR !
Flatulator would be good too.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

I really like using floor finish, or is it a desert topping, to clear coat the rockets. It goes on with a foam brush, self levels, doesn't require that I go outside, and dries pretty quickly.

Here is the rocket drying after I've clear coated it. Just hang it like a deer, let the fluids drip out, and call it game.

Oh yeah, if doing this with the nose in place, only insert it a tiny amount. That floor finish loves to glue the nose cone in place permanently.

I'm a big negative on the Pledge/Future floor finish clear coat.
Has no organic solvent fumage. That's enough for me to make it a big jug of NO.

All dried and waiting to be launched.

The decals I'm using are redrawn by me. I laser printed them on clear Papilio bake on water slide decal paper. I tried the Papilio clear waterslide decal paper (not the bake on version), and it is good, but is thicker than I liked. The bake on waterslide decals are thin, can form around angles better, and I think that they respond to Vinegar as a decal set better.

I think that they blend in with the thin clear coat of floor finish pretty well too.

You could always pour yourself a glass of real lacquer thinner to set beside you while you brush on the Future.

DQ, what flavor of orange did you use? I'm sure Doug Holverson would want to know.

Looks great. Off to a good start.

Haha, that’s a fierce fighting machine — drops its “load” and everyone scatters.
