Andy350 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Any ideas on how long to wait from applying AMMO Gloss varnish to apply decals? In the past I've tried using oil pains over this varnish and then blending with white spirits, but the white spirits seems to destroy the gloss clear coat. Should I try another gloss, maybe Tamiya? Or is there another oil paint thinner that isn't as harsh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cger Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 some oil paint thinners are quite harsh. I remember from long ago that turpentine attacked the Klear coat on some of my models. I advice to use artist quality mineral thinner to thin oils. Get the odorless version that really does not smell. It should not destroy any acrylic clear coat. It could also be that what you see is not really the clear coat destroyed, but a kind of shadows or tide marks coming from the thinned oil paints. See if this dissapears after gently wiping with a piece of cloth . HTH, Christian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
