wash ain't working! no cappillary: beading and pooling
Posted by belcher on Sunday, June 15, 2008 7:17 PM

ugh! I don't want to make the wrong move. Putting a wash over enamel paint. trying to use acrylic after putting down glosscote. No cappillary action. It beads and pools in all the wrong places. Please help!

This is caused by surface tension in your wash mix. You need to add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid to your wash mix to act as a wetting agent.

Then test on a junker or an inconspicuous part of your model before proceeding to do the whole thing.
