Painting with silver Model Masters

When I used to use my craft paints, I would always throw down some black before the silver then go over it with the silver.

Should I do the same with the MM or will I be waisting alot of black?

Will the silver be enough and not need the undercoat?

So the upside down will keep out all the air when not in use?

Won't the paint leak it it's not 100% solid.

Also wouldn't the paint dry in the bottom of the jar and make little flecks in the paint?

Dried Up Model Masters paint

I had several bottles of paint and all the sudden after I moved 2 dried up the same time, what makes this happen?

I used them before I moved and I had the lids on tight, also what causes them to get little bits of paint into them?

Thanks

thanks

Thanks, that makes sense, I have just ran out again, stuff does last forever, I am out of blades at the moment as well, at least they are more widespread then the glue, I order it offline sometimes, but if I am near a Hobby Town I usually just pick it up there. Is there some kind of "dropper&qu...

no

No, I used it once with a small project and was trying it out, since at my job we use it to glue together steel and aluminum rods, but for small applications and on plastic it seems to not work. It did nothing but harden and grow(expand) on the thing I used it for then I had to sand it off and redo ...
