Subject: weight of covered bug fuse and tail
I just finished my latest bug. I colored it with red food color mixed
with 99% isopropyl and was going to poly it, but decided to cover it
with trans red ultracote lite instead. I was suprised how much weight
the cover added: 2.5 grams. I could have estimated the weight first
but, oh well. Will I rip it off,heck no, its my best looking bug yet.
The trans red combined with the dark red under cote made it come out
the coolest looking, deepest blood red. It looks like red lacquer.
