Perhaps the point is that Future and Kool Whip have exactly the same chemical composition.......frightening..............

That's what they try to say about generic drugs too. Not as true as you might hope.

..........ergo I stick to Maker's Mark....I know what's in that........................ ;D.... and "yes", you can put it on top of your pie, but "no" it wil not shine your kitchen floor, nor stick a window to a structure...........................

Bob,

You couldn't be more wrong: New Shimmer is a floor wax.   ;D

Thanks Richie. Jamie introduced us to the Silhouette in his Franksville thread, and at least of couple of us have purchased one. There is a dedicated thread in the Weathering/Scratchbuilding section.

It will scribe .010 styrene almost all the was through so all you have to do it snap it out. This building is done in .030 and it was a bit difficult to get nice square window openings which it why I used the windows with the trim instead of a masonry style.

It should fine for cutting letters, and I have thought about cutting some autoframe loads with it. Just haven't had the time. It is a very nice tool and I am very pleased with it.

Best wishes, Dave

I just bought one. Seems a godsend for cutting my N scale ship parts and perhaps bridges. Wow. . .

This thread brought it to my attention, and I read the other threads. Thanks!

Look$ cool, though way beyond my MRR budget.

It's out of my new budget too. I'm looking at it as perhaps a way to produce some ship or bridge models for sale. Trimming hand-cut parts is really time consuming.

Besides, if it keeps me out of the emergency room for just one sliced finger, it will pay for itself five times over.

That's a common method used for finishing automobile models.  You dip the body in a container of Future, suspend it and let it drip off, leaving a nice rich acrylic finish.  It really makes the finish pop like a real new car.

I also use it so my Class A Jumpboots pass inspection...
