Ekhem Railway - Roof peeling

This article was published Nov 19, 2022.

Second layer put on and dried (almost).. I used fresh glue this time and yes only about one day to dry. In my usual impatient manner I did peel it off a bit to early, but it worked just fine. At start it is a very soft and smooth material, but quickly gets harder and harder if you do not apply it where you want it. Eventually it turns a bit yellow and rock hard.

Now after I noticed I missed one thing, I should have used an old small brush and go through first layer in every row, making sure no bubbles hides there. Not on so many places, but still a bit annoying I forgot, so now there is some ´incomplete´ tiles. Not enough to re-do the hole thing, but one thing to remember for next pour.

All in all I am pleased with the result, it was a long time ago I did this last time!

Cost? About a few euros for the glue, nothing else.
