Hi
I am building hms surprise as a part work and have come across an instruction to stain some of the parts with mineral pitch and solvent mix
Can anyone clarify exactly what this comprises in buyable terms ?
I can find no other reference anywhere and would like to keep to the instructions as far as possible
Cheers steve

Hi what your looking fore is a very dark brown Asphalt colour. I would paint not stain which would look more authentic Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Steve, If you are leaving it bare un painted then use a dark wood stain from ronseal, no need to thin it down. If your painting her then its Admiralty paints Yellow ochre and Satin Black.

Hi again , Thanks for the replies I am painting the hull with admiralty paints , ocre and a dull black left over from sots build , so I guess it will be dull black with a red detail I have watched the movie about 5 times over the years and have a copy ,but everything just looks very dark and worn I suppose it should be navy colours of the time, a la victory . Thanks for your help Regards Steve
