                        Try reading this article from the FSM archives. It's what I've been doing, and it works great for me.

                        Also- check out this page on Swanny's website about weathering. It goes over the same technique basically, with great detail and photos.

                        That's a great article jwb!  I'm going to try that on my next project.

                        Thanks for the links!

                        Is it feasible to store these washes (maybe 2-3 primary colors) for long-term use, or does the chemical makeup of the wash require a new batch be mixed for every washing session?

                        Tanks in advance,

                        Jeff
