Dullcote/Thinner reaction?

Steve-The first time I used Model Master thinner and the second time was testors. This worked OK before the dullcoat. So I'm pretty sure that had something to do with it.
Jason- I got new dullcoat because I had another can but it was pretty old.
   I'd say you're probably right about it being too thick, though when I applied it I didn't think it was a very heavy coat, but I'm not used to using it so I didn't know how thick to put it.
     So the only part of the track that is exposed metal is the pins and connectors along the outside? Thats what it looks like in most of the pictures I've seen but I wanted to make sure. Would the spare links on the hull be painted or left bare metal and rubber? Also, are the return rollers metal? on the box art they look black like on the road wheels.
                                                                            Thanks for your input!

Oh, one more thing- what would be the most common way for the crew to get in the tank, from the front, probably, but would the hatch on the turret or the drivers hatch or all be the main entry points?                                
                  Thanks!

<>Your dullcoat was applied to heavily...............that is exactly why it happened.

<>very light coats are required. 2 or 3 light coats. allow sufficient drying time in between as well! preferably overnight!!!!!!!

<>The stuff comes out of the can very heavy. also keep at least 12 inches or more away when spraying. 

I actually had that happen with my dullcoat. In all the corners it collected and turned white. I went crazy. I cound it helped when I blew the excess out of the corners while it dried. I was using humbrol flat clear and paint thinner. I believe the culprit is one of two things: The clear coat was too old or the enemal reacted with the paint thinner. Your problem may be due to th second hypothisis.

What kind of thinner did you use the first time?

The blocks would be rubber, the connectors are metal... I think. 

One of the pros will come by and help you out shortly. But I can tell you that I can have the same problem. I try to use the least aggressive thinner to wash that I possibly can. Tell you the truth, I'm waiting to hear the responses like you are.

Sherman looks good.
