Thanks! Started experimenting with Strong Tone although im not prepared to declare it a PERFECT match for poor ol' Devlan its certainly close. The one that really threw me was Druchii Violet. It RUINED the skin tones i had beneath it with its glossiness.

I guess ill be changing ink/wash supplier

After one mishap with Carroburg Crimson I've not had any problems with my washes if I ensure that I've shaken them well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5166968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5166968.page GMT Re:Problem with GW Washes
Otherwise, use Army Painter tones to replace GW washes. More volume for less price, with a better result.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168672.page GMT Problem with GW Washes GW washes a vigorous shaking and hopefully that will sort it. If not ill look elsewhere.

Should shaking your existing washes not correct the issue I'd return it to GW and get a replacement/money back. if the latter then i know Vallejo do some washes, though my only experience has been with their pale grey one. It's good, offering a colour I'd not seen elsewhere, but is thicker than GW washes so needs thinning a little. Secret Weapon also does a wide range of washes but I have no firsthand experience of them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168778.page GMT Re:Problem with GW Washes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168779.page GMT Problem with GW Washes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5168794.page GMT Problem with GW Washes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5169875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5169875.page GMT Re:Problem with GW Washes

Also to dull down any shiny surface you could use a mix of Elmers(pva) glue and water. About a 25/75 mix works just fine and it protects too. Dries clear.

For a while, at least. PVA glue can go milky over time... I believe it's to do with the glue reabsorbing moisture out of the air, as PVA never actually 'sets' completely. It's not a stable reaction like superglue or a proper sealer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5169921.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499875/5169921.page GMT
