I have been trying to apply Wipe And Shine as a pre-decal sealant
on a 1/48 F-15E Strike Eagle and I am encountering very
inconsistent results.
I'm using Tamiya's spray work with the fine nozzle.
A heavy application results in runs, which would be most visible on
wide, flat surfaces such as the wings; a light spray ends up in a
rather rough finish; while a medium dosage would have uneven and
very unsightly splotches - it does not level out easily like Tamiya
acrylics.
If a brushed on coat is used, the finish is smooth but the clarity is
uneven.
I have tried applying it straight from the bottle or thinned with
Tamiya Acrylic Thinner and it makes no difference.
I had to strip the model of its paint twice already and it is becoming
most discouraging.
It makes me wonder: What am I doing wrong? How can I apply
decent finishes with acrylics but screw up with this floor wax?
Perhaps Wipe And Shine, the famed Future, cannot be treated like
paint? How can Swanny and most other modelers work this like
magic?
Any assitance is urgently needed and very much appreciated.
Thank you.
