Recently i have tried building Earnshaw plans was given away in Model Boats magazine. It said that it was built in balsa and although up till now I had built in ply, I decided that this would be in balsa. I built the hull and gave it a coat of undercoat, using Itsi Bitsi paint, this was grey. I then put another coat on the hull and rubbed it down, then a coat of the final colour of white, this formed like crazy paving. I rubbed it down and filled the pattern with poly filler and again rubbed it down to a smooth surface. Today i applied a top coat again and one is OK and the other like a crazy paving again. I have used this paint on four other boats without problem so am at a loss!
