fv1609 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Dennis it is Dunlop "Trakmark" it was very expensive & has been unobtainable for many years. It was used in the yachting world & 25 years ago I obtained some large off cuts from a place that built racing yachts & it was in that nice beige. About 15 years ago I bought a large roll from Withams & relined a Shorland. Unfortunately it was maroon but I got the right colour by using Light Stone pinked up with red oxide. The problem was being matt, it rubbed of a bit around edges. I am currently relining another Shorland & am experimenting with various gloss paints. I bought very close to the right colour from B&Q unfortunately when I tried to pink it up I realised I was sold that water colour paint. I use a thixotropic glue but be wary as now foam just soaks glue up & collapses. I glue that grey sleeping roll on, wait for it to set, then trim it with a sharp blade then glue on the Trakmark. When that has set peel back the edges of the foam & glue in the edges of the Trakmark. You'll need to keep coming out for air! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybaggerman Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 is this the same stuff that they use in the saracen etc? You might want to try the cobbaton combat collection, they are having a dig out in may. They had a roll of it last year and I bought a few metres off it.
