Tips and tricks:
Try the best application form: The best result is dependent on the gravel / material. How much gravel or absorbent material? Is it enough to use Schotterfix 1x in a 1:1 mixture, or is it better in 2x 1:2? Some material has such a high absorbsion force first treatment with Schotterfix is absorbed largely into the gravel / material. Then it is better to use 2x the 1:2 ratio. The first layer seals the outside of the gravel / material, the second layer glues everything together.
Colour application: Using conventional dye available for latex products from your DIY store, you can colour accents with Schotterfix. Rust on the rails, moss on the roof gutter and so on.
No cleaning: Use air hose for an aquarium. 2 x 1 meter long. Cut the hose in length direction. You can put the hose over the track rod over a length of 2 x 1 meter. Are you finished with that part of the job with the application of Schotterfix? Slide the hose to the next section. So you do not have to clean the rails after using Schotterfix.
Schotterfix and points: Place the gravel at the points divide the Schotterfix with a syringe. So there's no Schotterfix in places where you do not want.
Damage to houses and buildings: You know that for certain, often after winter there is damage to the garden railroad / layout and the houses and buildings. The damage is usually not caused by storms, but due to frost. Water between the different parts, by the frost, the water becomes ice. The ice pushes the parts from each other easily. Use Schotterfix for Pola, Piko and Vollmer houses, buildings, concrete, mortar, brick and sandstone. Spray the horizontal surface, let it dry and then the next horizontal surface. Not only the exterior but also the inside! Are all seams sealed, the paper curtains impregnated with Schotterfix? Then the building is ready for summer and winter!
Discolored by the sun, rusting in the rain: Are Preiserlein / Preiser figures discolored after 2 years or become white? Model cars full of rust? NO MORE!
Caused not only by the UV of the sun but also by the frost and rain. Dip the figures (and other accessories, such as cars, trees, etc.) in Schotterfix. First immersion, drying, 2nd dip, let dry and ready! (For some applications, spraying is better than dipping.)Note the position you let the product dry thoroughly. Figures, do not hang them upside down to dry, otherwise you will get gnomes with a pointed cap
