<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Save my White Scar!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Save my White Scar!
After having owned this White Scar for about 3 weeks, with very little use, it's displaying some very irritatating properties.

Its components seperate, as you you can see in the picture, and his very thick with big bulges in it, like porridge or something. What should I do? Just add water?

Don't add water to your paint pot, you risk diluting it too much, just shake it]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5283188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5283188.page GMT Save my White Scar!

If you don't add water it'll eventually dry out no matter what. Using a plastic syringe or pipette to add water and then stirring inbetween ensures there's no risk of diluting too much. Also shaking the bottle makes paint dry in the cap and rim, wasting it and forcing you to scrape it off eventually.

Each to their own, I personally dilute and don't shake.

Also this. I've gone out of my way to pick up cheap(ish) second generation paint pots on ebay to transfer some of my most valued paints into.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5285375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5285375.page GMT Save my White Scar!

Do you just throw your paints away after the get thick in the pot or something? As long as you are careful there is no risk on putting in too much water. If you do, just leave the cap open for an hour. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286100.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286100.page GMT Save my White Scar!

2. Add some water and shake vigorously. Not a lot of water but some. I have used minuscule quantities of flow enhancer in the past with a small degree of success.
3. Get off GW's line of paint. There a re advantages to GW's paints, th thickness being one of them (oodles of pigment) but the overall color range and frequency of color changes make using their line very vexing. I've still not found a good replacement source for the midnight blue they used to sell or their inks ( yeah the washes are fancy stuff.... I have other needs and uses fr the inks too...)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286505.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286505.page GMT Save my White Scar!

I paint enough that they are frequently shaken. I do think my paints with water outside of the pot but I don't add water to the pot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286797.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286797.page GMT Save my White Scar!
And obviously I'm not talking about watering it down so much that it's milk thin--- that's what a palette is for. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5286910.page GMT Re:Save my White Scar!

seen the swatch. Think I have it. my answer is: no. It needs to be a blue that turns out purple when painted over black.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5292264.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507430/5292264.page GMT Save my White Scar!
