Frequently Asked Questions

What glues do you recommend for working with brick papers?

For gluing brick papers to large surfaces we highly recommend UHU. Apply a thin coat to the entire surface to be wrapped with brick paper. Allow to dry for a few seconds so it goes tacky, then smooth the brick paper into place. Some modellers also get great results with Pritt Stick and similar paper glues.

For detailed work, such as folding small tabs around window & door reveals, we highly recommend Deluxe Materials Roket Card Glue or Laser Cut Kit Glue as they both come with fine tipped applicators.

Why are the brick papers printed onto thin paper?

Printing onto thin paper makes sharp, crisp corners on buildings possible. If we printed them onto thick card, getting realistic, crisp corners on buildings would be virtually impossible. It also makes it easy to fold the texture papers around door and window reveals.

Why do the brick papers sometimes have a slightly shiny finish?

Our brick & stone papers are printed on a digital printing press which uses laser technology & dry toners rather than solvent or water-based inks. So the toner sits on top of the paper rather than soaking in. With brick and stone textures that use a lot of toner, particularly darker shades, this can result in a slight shine to the surface of the paper. Any shine can be easily toned down with a light coat of matt acrylic lacquer applied using a spray can.

Will the texture sheets fade in sunlight?

We use fade-resistant, colour-fast toners so they should stand the test of time in most environments. But we would advise not allowing them to get damp and avoid direct sunlight if you can.

Red River Inn.

It started when you sold me the Red River Inn, built in Victorian times, picture 1. Looking at it I wondered if there was anything I could do to make it a bit better, then my story kicks in. During the 20th century we had the wars, and for the safety of customers an air raid shelter was built in the yard. After the war, instead of demolishing the shelter it was decided to convert it into a storage shed, picture 2. I live in a village at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, and there are a lot of country footpaths and bridleways crisscrossing the area, so the place has always been very popular with walkers. With the popularity of cycling increasing in the past few years many of the walkers and cyclists just wanted somewhere to grab a cup of tea or coffee. The answer was a tea/coffee shed in the yard with a few picnic tables, picture 3. And should they need to buy a snack there is the village shop at the entrance. The only problem is that putting these extras in the yard means that should I wish to remove them at any time the surface of the yard would be damaged. So, I bought the cobblestones and they were better than I expected, my extras are glued to a sheet and trimmed to fit they look great and it can be lifted out without any threat to the original surface. Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Just what was needed.

Inexpensive means of producing a suitable surface for the streets of a model tramway intended to be from the 1920s and 30s.

Just the job.

Just what I needed for a pre-WW1 street scene involving tramcars.
