KT zimmerit
I'm currently applying Zimmerit to my KT and have been supplied with a rear panel section. However I can't find any reference to say they put Zimmerit on this panel?
Attached is the bovington KT with no signs of Zimmerit on the rear.

Re: KT zimmerit
I’ve got a Torro Pro KT and have just finished putting Zimmerit using Milliput epoxy putty on the rear of mine. I found a number of photos showing it applied to the rear.
This might help. There’s a colour photo about 1/2 way down on the right hand side.

I hope this helps.

Re: KT zimmerit
Do you have a build thread for your KT?

Re: KT zimmerit
in my case it was an easy work, you have to work in stages as the putty hardens in minutes, so not too much putty every time, and cover a section of the tank, and so on...NAB wrote:I cheated and bought the atak Zimmerit.

Re: KT zimmerit
Using Milliput is a breeze. It adheres very well and takes between 3 and 5 hours to harden. You’ve have plenty of time to get it “right”, and if you make a muck up, just redo it.Jussek wrote:in my case it was an easy work, you have to work in stages as the putty hardens in minutes, so not too much putty every time, and cover a section of the tank, and so on...NAB wrote:I cheated and bought the atak Zimmerit.

Using water and a paintbrush helps with the smoothing, but having looked at numerous pictures of Zimmerit, it’s well and truly daubed on and not very carefully either. Loads of lumps and bumps. There doesn’t appear to be a standard indentation width or how many rows or columns there are. Neatness was not the key.
I found that wearing nitrile gloves does save you getting gunk all over your hands.

Would be good if you made a build thread so we can see the progress
