Under $9 at Walmart But why bother when Alclad Aqua Gloss is clearly superior in every way.

Help or guide for oil paints abteilung 502 and what solvent to use?
Woody V replied to Mel's topic in Painting & Finishing
Thin them with AK (or other hobby brands) Odorless Thinner if you want to make a wash, or a panel line wash. Commercial Odorless Thinners also work. You can use them for weathering like exhaust stains straight from the tube, but it's recommended to put a dollop on cardboard (or paper towel) to absorb the oils in the paint. This makes them easier to work with. Clear coat your model before using them, but regardless, they will not attack any paint system I know of. Some guys do their weathering over satin clear while others over gloss. Once you are finished, clear coat your model. Your choice, but play with them on a scrap mode. I'm sure you'll get numerous responses, but that's my take on the subject. -

When you understand the theory you come up with simple solutions, like this.

Here's a trick you might try. Spray a light coat of black on the part. The black will act as a guide coat showing you where you have sanded. Sand until all the black is gone. Then use successively finer grades of sandpaper to remove all the scratches made by the previous grit of sandpaper until it has a just slightly frosted sheen. Finish by using progressively finer grades of polish like the Novus system or simply dip in Future or Aqua Gloss. This is how we were taught to polish clear acrylic in USAF Tech School but the theory holds true for polishing any plastic.

If there are air bubbles coming up from the bottom of the cup, there is an air leak at the point where the trigger contacts the air seal. I had this exact same problem with my H&K airbrushes. I'd like to see a picture. -

Not sure what you mean here. Are you seeing actual bubbles forming in the cup or what appears to be the pigments moving around? -
That's absolutely correct. The tip of the nozzle is incredibly thin, something I found out the hard way because I managed to deform one with a reamer. I had a nozzle clogged with what appeared to be lint and using the needle to remove it only pressed the clog tighter to the wall of the nozzle. Careful use of a reamer was the only way to scrape the clog off. I also stopped using paper towels to clean my airbrush cup and switched to these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09TSM852Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As with everything, there are exceptions to the rules and according to the drawing it's obvious this is one of those situations.

I have one of those Iwata cleaning kits, but it didn't include one of these. I actually made one from the H&S brand one. Where did you get this?

You can buy products directly from MicroMesh

I know this is going to sound extremely nit picky but the slots in deus fasteners are parallel to the edge when they are locked and perpendicular to the edge when not. They aren't screws, they're quarter-turn fasteners. Normally, I wouldn't bring this up but you're so dedicated to accuracy.

The fact that you've gotten this far without breaking off the antenna post alone is commendable. A feat I've never accomplished. -
That's because he's using ink, not paint.
