After a long break from modeling, Im now back and a lot of things have changed. I used to use Enamels for everything, but have been experimenting Quite successfully (UNTIL TONITE) with oils for washing and painting certain parts of fiqures etc. My problem was the Enamel basecoat (matt humbrol) lifted (almost completely)when appling a oil/enamel/turpentine 10%/5%/85% apprx. wash.
Two things I can think of causing the problem are a) the enamel wasnt dry/hard enough b) I shouldnt be using turps over the enamel. I have read so much just lately I could well have got my dillutants, thinners and solvents mixed up
So how long should I be leaving the enamel to harden? If not turpentine wht should I use White (Mineral) spirt?
