                        Watercolor wash over Future?
                        Posted by knight667 on Friday, January 7, 2005 4:19 PM
                        I'm considering a watercolor wash on my next armor project, a SPz Marder 1 A3. My question is that once I've got a gloss coat of Future on it (which I've never done, so another first for me) would it be safe to use watercolors? I can't imagine Future is too water-soluble, but I don't know too much about it. Any help is most appreciated!

                        let the Future dry for 48 full hours before you wash it.

                        And that should be okay?

                        sure. once the acrylic in the future dries completely, water won't soften it.
