You may wish to add some retarder too to slow the drying process. This can also result is wasting paint as you mix too much of it and it drys and becomes usless. that is why using the Vallejo paint is easier and cheaper in the long run. The bottle is airtight and you can squeeze out just what you need at any one time, and it is already liquid enough to paint on figures. |
