                        I used this type of wash before and had alot of success with it in the past, But I took a vaction from modeling for a few years and can not remember how it goes. I what to say that I used model master arcyl paint thinned with water and just a drop or two of dishsoap. Let me no what you guys think. I got it from a user tip, but like I said I do not remember if this is correct.

                        Links from Bgrigg just about cover everything. But this is a forum so i'll add one thing they don't have. A fellow modeler turned me on to windsor and Newton water soluble oils in the tubes. I really recommend these. Easy for lots of reasons especially you don't need turpentine or oil thinners.

                        You've got the right idea, shipbuilder...thinned acrylic with water, with dish soap added. This is the patend-pending "sluge wash" you are recalling. You're right on track my friend!
