                        New salt technique?

                        Hello,
                        Ijust tried the new salt weathering tech. All went well until I painted the coat over the salt. Where the salt and water contact ,it's a different shade and is somewhat glossy. Am I doing something wrong? I'm using tamiya acrylics.
                        Thanks,

                        It sounds like you may have sprayed too "wet" or heavy a coat on your first pass that started disolving the salt before it started drying. I'd try a few light mist coats that will dry fast for the initial coats over the salt.

                        disclaimer I'm guessing as I haven't tried the salt method yet, but that sounds like what might have happened. Big Smile [:D]

                        What exactly is the Salt technique? Is there a summary of the process in an FSM issue?
                        Curious..
