Road System (LK952)

You can use this Learning Kit on an existing layout or practice on a small piece of cardboard, wood, or Woodland

Scenics Foam Sheets. These instructions demonstrate the use of the materials on a 3x6-inch example. On an existing

layout, a path should be cleared in the landscape for the road or pavement. There should be enough Paving Tape,

Smooth-It and Asphalt Top Coat remaining to make another road (without a sidewalk), approximately 3 inches wide by

4 feet long. Road size will vary with the scale. (Mix three teaspoons of Smooth-It for every two teaspoons of water.)

Instructions

1. Draw parallel lines on the layout designating placement of road (Fig. 1). Lines should be approximately 3" apart and

6" long.

2. Cut two sections of Paving Tape 6" long and another two sections 3" long. Remove backing on 6" strips and place

edge of tape against outer edge of lines (Fig.1). Remove backing on 3" strips and place them at the ends of the 6"

pieces to form a 6" x 3" rectangle.

3. Add 6 teaspoons of Smooth-It to 4 teaspoons of water. Mix thoroughly.

4. Pour mixture into rectangle and use supplied plastic spreader to smooth top even with top of tape (Fig. 2).

5. Allow Smooth-It to dry approximately 1 hour. Use sandpaper to remove small imperfections.

Learn to add a Sidewalk

1. Remove one of the 6" strips and stack it directly on top of the other one (Fig. 3). Cut two 3/4" pieces and stack them

at each end of sidewalk.

2. Cut another 6" strip and place it on top of the dried layer of Smooth-It, parallel to the stacked pieces, leaving a gap

approximately 1/2" wide.

3. Add 3 teaspoons of Smooth-It to 2 teaspoons of water. Mix thoroughly.

4. Pour mixture into gap. Use spreader to smooth surface evenly with top of tape (Fig. 4). Allow to dry.

5. Remove all tape.

6. Paint surface of road only with Asphalt Top Coat provided. If you wish to continue the sidewalk, measure Paving

Tape and Smooth-It accordingly.
