Model Forum / General / Models / February 2006Sludge Wash with Enamels?
Has anybody tried this with (Humbrol) enamels or does it only work with acrylics? I tried it on a Spitfire interior and the residue seemed more difficult to remove than Paul's FSM article would seem to indicate. Maybe the surface wasn't glossy enough? (Humbrol gloss cote) ..also, my mixture seemed very thin versus 'thick/sludgy'. I guess I could spring for some acryilics, but I was just wondering.

Enamels have a much higher adhesion and it doesn't work the same. Bill Shuey Thanks Bill! That explains why me little test are didn't work out.... =8-) Cheers > Has anybody tried this with (Humbrol) enamels or does it only work with > acrylics? [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Thanks! I wouldn't think it would work well with enamels as they genearlly require a thinner to remove. I used the sludge wash with acrylics until I had some problems with it repelling some finish materials or causing them to bead I switched to using tempra based water paints to do washes and they seem to work pretty well, using the same methodology I've used the sludge wash only over dissimilar materials, Generally over Future.

Does anyone have a sludge wash recipe they's like to share? I passed along that issue of Finescale Modeler without clipping the article. Thanks, Dave Ambrose The article is still on the FSM website in PDF format.....from the article 1 part acrylic 5 parts water 3 parts dish soap apply to gloss finish! |
