A few warnings, though: First, alcohol will set the pigments well enough for display models or occasional handling (I actually had a bit of trouble rubbing an overzealous application down with a bare finger), but it's not sufficiently robust for long-term gaming wear and tear. If you plan to varnish over the top, though, it's more than you'll ever need to keep things from blowing away while you spray on your topcoat. Getting it wet again will destroy your efforts, though, so brush-on varnishes are a no go.

Second, rubbing alcohol will strip acrylic paint. No, nothing like the cartoon image of a drop of acid bubbling right down through the floor, but agitation will dislodge saturated paint (I've noticed no ill effects if it's simply placed on top and allowed to evaporate, but I've stripped metals down to the primer trying to apply an alcohol rust wash with too much brushing, early on in my experiments). If you want to play around with it, apply varnish first to protect the paintjob (gloss finishes will affect the flow and pooling, whereas satin or matte has enough tooth for the pigments to behave as if over paint).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445306/4197205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/445306/4197205.page GMT
