09.14.09 Step 2 of 3 HOW TO PAVE your roads FULL VERSION by AL Mayo

Well the last video I uploaded was this same video but it was cut short by 3 minutes so everyone missed Step 2 and the end of the video. That was my FIRST time ever editing a video so I of course had to jack it up. Anyway this is the full version with the final 3 minutes and actually showing STEP 2. Sorry for that mix up! Step 3 will be recorded tonight (thursday) or Friday when the Smoothit is dry and ready to be sanded! So enjoy!

Al, quick question. I watched your video and added the mixture over a track leading to an industry on my layout. I mistakenly added the color mixture to the plaster so that it would be a SOLID color all the way through, so if its chipped it doesn't turn white. Have you tried this? The only problem I have is that the damn thing is taking FOREVER to dry. I don't think I'll do that again.

[MonsterRailroad]

Yes I have done that many times before. It does take a tiny bit longer to dry but not much. It all depends on how thick the mixture is? The one I did without pigment in it took about three days to fully dry in my basement. Up in my house it would take 2 days or less. Just different places.

The pigment adding is actually VERY GOOD. You had a good idea that I should have explained. It does work well. Your thought is right. if chipped the color will not be white. Patience youve done fine

That looks pretty simple! Is that an index card you are using with the Smooth-It?

[MonsterRailroad]

NO, The plastic smoother thingy is inside the package of the pavement tape. That is what I am using there.

2:31 to 2:49 Big Al is magic! He can use two hands to mix, then telepathically suspend the camera in mid air.

have a question al dose that mixture crack or srink I never used it I always use watter putty becanse it dont srink I usualy mix my coloer in to my mixture when I poor it in I dont paint it but I will have to try that because when my mixture drys it forces the color out to the top or out side so I will have to try the color after I make the road or por the road good infor.

[driline]

Its finally started to dry 2 days later. However I'm seeing cracks develop. I'm thinking of Putting another "thicker" layer over it after its completely dry.Then just paint like you did.

[SantaFebuff]

Hey, Al! Your are amazing at this! For when you were talking about different colors, having a darker tone on one sign actually could look like where they re-did the roads.Ya know?

Keep rollin' on!
