I am new at this and struggling, after thirty years as a surgeon now retired to build model boats like my father. I am working on a vanguard. I am allergic to regular superglue so have to use foamless. I put the cooper plates on but there is glue residue on plates and whenever I try to clean, polish I just make it worse, lots of green residue, and plates snag and get loose with my wipe cloths,, I really would like a nice smooth shiny cooper finish, but feel like I am spinning my wheels, have tried bravo, and dremel polish wheels.
