I have been using this technique for about 25 years. I have not had "uncured" components. When I used a brand of Clear Cast Resin - where in I had to mix so many drops per volume, I frequently had uncured components. Yes, the smell says it all. I rate nail polish as a bad smell of 3-4, I would rate this smell at a 7. When done working with it, I leave the room, close the door and go upstairs. In the morning it no longer smells. I probably should add that I glue down the loose flaps since the liquid is absorbed by the paper and will shift unless glued down. I also sometimes "plumb" up the models by stuffing them with bits of cotton balls. I have been giving them away at foreign conventions for years. Since Kami is so readily effected by the resins unless heavily undercoated, I have generally preferred to dye the white side of the paper or more recently, tissue foil. It should be noted that foil comes in varying thickness. Some of the thinnest foil that I have found was labeled heavy duty... I choice the foil based on the model and paper that I will be using for optimal result. Mark Kennedy Mark Kennedy
