      So does glass, if you leave it long enough!

        Thanks Jim, that top side coat looked far too thick when I put it on, but since it's dried it seems to flattened out .
        Yes decided that on the day I would use it I would spray right away.
        Seeing Time posts has confirmed the quick use !

          How long was that Tim, looks rather frightening !
          I remember the last time I put it away covered in German camo colours I was sure they would never be absorbed . Took the top off the other day and it was a shinny black, a bit like the lagoon :smiling3::smiling3:
          Not going to be left to give it any time to drip like that I can assure you .:smiling:

            Overnight I think John. Nothing to worry about. It just stays fluid and comes off really easily with no residue.
            I found it very easy to handle, if slightly strange. It feels greasy but isn’t…….putting it on as a thin layer seems best, pretty much as thin as possible. If you get it too thin and make holes you can easily patch it by adding a bit more. Once it’s on you can refine the pattern by pushing it around in the surface.

                  Oh don't look at mine Andy, I keep thinking 4 BO would-be ok, in fact had it been taken into service I think the might well have resprayed it .

                          The strange stuff I use will actually bounce if you roll it into a ball. Something to do whilst the paint dries.

                            Funny thing is, the ball will bounce, but it will shatter if hit with a hammer…..best to take it off the model first though….

                            Looks good John. I found it really easy to use.

                              What - that sounds like a party trick, I need to learn.

                                Neat looking job with the Panzer Putty John. I'm sure the camo will look good.
