Substitutes to Flory Washes?
Posted by TheModeler on Friday, March 26, 2021 4:25 PM

Hello All

I have been looking everywhere for a weathering wash called Flory Washes,which many of you already know about.Sadly,Flory's online shop is now shipping only to the UK.Anyways,as I was doing more research for something similar to Flory Washes,I found Aqua Line,found here:

https://www.wilder.su/collections/aqualine 

It's an acrylic water-based weathering product that is reactivatable,similar to Flory's washes.What are your guys' experiences with this product?Are there any others like Flory?

Thanks

Max

As of right now, the only wash High Altitude Hobbies is out of is the Dark Dirt.  They have all of the other washes in stock.

I actually just got back to the post,and Dark Dirt is the one I mainly wanted LMAO,though I have been eying the black one due to the fact that it is the most similar color that can be used for panel lining.

There are no real secrets to washes.  They are realy just highly thinned paints.  I just chose a good color of my regular paints and thin it way down.  Thinning ratio not critical.  How you apply it is much more important than the wash itself.

Lol.  Flory probably just mixes black and grime for dark dirt.

Shhhh...don't give away their secrets.  LOL.  That's probably not far off the mark.
