Model Railway Forum

Hi, just wanted your thoughts on whether or not to seal printed card and paper used in scenic locations. I read somewhere that some Metcalfe products should be sealed to minimise ink bleed.
Thanks Anthony

I have never sealed anything.

Like Brian, never sealed card models but you do need to be careful when using dilute PVA near them!
However, I did try a downloadable printed kit some years ago and recall that the supplier recommended an artists fixing spray, possibly Winsor and Newton.

I have built many Metcalfe in the post and have never come across ink bleed.

Thanks for the replies, guess I'm good to go then.
