What about drying times? I paint my base coats with Testors rattle cans. Example: I sand the entire surface of my resin models with 1000 grit paper. Then I wash them thoroughly, dry them and apply thin coats of (insert color here). I am currently on week 2 for drying time on a Pioneer class for exam...

I have just starting using the pastels for weathering. Hell for that matter I just started weathering. I have not tried a wash yet, will try that soon though. Anyhow, my question, I have been weathering directly to the gloss coat and have had reasonable results. Does this make a difference? Will the...

Did you use Testors Dullcote by chance? I learned the hard way after making some decals with drafting ink. Testors Dullcote being a Laquer based product just acts like a harsh solvent on the glue, thus making it run/dissolve. I would use an acrylic gloss/dullcote and test it out first. Then I wold ...

Be careful with what ink you use. My experience has been, unfortunately, not good. The ink went on very well. even gloss coated ok. Upon application of the dull coat, it ran and smudged and turned a lighter color than what it had started out as. Overall effect....bad. :( Me upon finding said results...

It would seem that you are not alone in your struggles. I too have had some sanding problems. Clogged paper etc. I'm careful with making the ratio as accurate as possible. I have let the stuff set for weeks, (hell, one model is going on months) and still have had touble getting it to sand. :( Strang...

I want it to be subtle so I'll practive on a spare something or other tonight. Thanks again for sharing your e...
