Karl;
I don't know if you've received any responses to your inquiry about
Alclad, but I'm pasting in the content of one message from a thread that
appeared on the old BRHSlist in early 2003. It seems like there was an
article in MR or another of the modeling magazines during the last two
or three years, but I can't seem to locate it. Perhaps another member
recalls the source. I'm a 1930's modeler and don't have any personal
experience with it, but it sounds like a slick product.
Kind regards, Rob Adams
Here's the message....
