I keep hearing only wonderful things about Flory Washes so I gave in and ordered a couple directly from them in the UK.
Just have a couple of questions about this product which as I understand it is water/clay based so I can use it over enamels and lacquers. But can it be used over acrylics like Future or Alclad Aqua Gloss without disturbing the acrylic coat?
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Its fine over future, but i have found that on Alclad flat and on Xtracolour enamels, the wash beads up. I have not tried it on the Aqua gloss, but i see no reason it should cause problems to that.

Thanks Bish. Can't wait to try the product.
Yes, just make sure the underlying acrylic substrate is well-cured. (I know, you know that)
I've added a drop of detergent to the Flory to help somewhat with the beading Bish mentioned, with some success.
Cool. Thanks Greg. Sorry for the duplicate post but for some reason I couln't find the other one in the AB section.
Greg, ye, i figured that one out acouple of builds back, i think it wa sthe first time i tried it on Alclad clear.
Also use a new brush and don't use that brush for anything else,if the brush has other traces on it,it interacts with the Flory
I didn't know that Tojo, thanks. I guess i should put a couple of new brushes to one side.
Thanks Tojo, i really shoul;d take a closer look at that. I wash my brushes in water after i use Flory, but i use the same brushes for enamels, acrylics and oils. That could expalin part of my past issues.
Great intel Tojo, thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to have dedicated brushes.
plasticjunkie Great intel Tojo, thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to have dedicated brushes.
Ernie, just a FYI, I even use a dedicated stirrer for using with my Flory washes. Experience is a harsh mistress, lol.Gary

Cool Gary, good to know.
I also want to thank you Tojo for that tid bit of info. I was unaware of that issue also. I will adjust accordingly.

I use Q-tips to apply Flory. One side to apply. The other to clean up.

Great tip Tom! Thanks.
Jeez, is there NOWHERE in the US that sells Flory washes? What would be a suitable substitute in the US?

I bought mine though Sprue Brothers. Some of their stuff is currently listed on the site but not everything I bought, are they dropping the line?

Guys, there is still hope. Flory's delivery is very good, £3.50 flat rate to anywhere in the world for allorders under £60. I know its not as good as habving it in your own contry, but its not a total loss.

Thanks Bish, yeah £3.50 isn't bad at all, not much more than shipping from point to point in the States.
