If you are using water as a solvent you need to use purified (i.e. distilled) water. Tap water has a lot of minerals and impurities in it and they leave a light colored residue in recesses when dry.

Oil washes as in derived from oil paint not nuln oil.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002041.page GMT Oil wash problem http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002057.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002057.page GMT Oil wash problem

Well that much I gathered. But I don't know how you dilute oil paints so I just said that tap water can produce that effect. If water is not a part of the process then it's something else, like I said as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002072.page GMT Oil wash problem

Never seen that happen with oils. Only thing I can suggest is grabbing a new paint of the same brand and testing it both on the same model and on a new test, see if that helps you determine if the paint is the problem, the model is the problem, or if something has gone wrong as you've mixed it.


Yeah I tried all sorts of combos and it kept happening so must be something to do with the clear coat. Worked as normal on an unvarnished mini so not too sure what's up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002096.page GMT Oil wash problem http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002101.page GMT Oil wash problem http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002112.page GMT Oil wash problem http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002132.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002132.page GMT Re:Oil wash problem Also I wouldn’t bother using oils on infantry, it’s a lot of hassle and I don’t think you will notice much of a difference from a standard wash. I know some top painters do but what standard are hoping to achieve, golden demon winning or good on the battlefield? Love them on vehicles and terrain though, cheap as chips too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002184.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002184.page GMT Oil wash problem http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002198.page GMT Re:Oil wash problem http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002367.page GMT Oil wash problem http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002391.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002391.page GMT Oil wash problem
Try Future Floor Finish/Pledge with Future shine (name keeps changing, see this link to see what is in your area). It's acrylic based so the oils and thinner don't mix at all. I've been using it for years with no issues, I can do an oil wash over it in a couple minutes if I use a hair dryer and it's a great gloss base for doing decals over. It's pretty great stuff, been a staple of the modelbuilding community for decades.

You mentioned you tried different thinners, I can't recommend Odorless Mineral Spirits enough (AKA White Spirit). I use Weber's Odorless Turpenoid, not much more expensive than regular paint thinner and no real odor at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002717.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10002717.page GMT Re:Oil wash problem Def going to give oils a bit more of a go I think. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10003729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757861/10003729.page GMT
