Its a bit thick than 0.02 one, if cannot reach i just ignore it(for the time being)
mmm yea, i think maybe i shld ignore it, or try use toothpick wif the tip colored by the marker...then touch up. but a bit difficult also =_= coz if i smudged the side...it'll b hard to clean due to the small space

my gundam panel line marker somehow cacat already the tip. cannot work properly and the tip acts like a paintbrush now. so big and not suitable for panel lining at all. sad.gif my grey one still okay though. aih. bought one 0.1 black marker from art shop but i think that might not b permanent type. coz it gets wiped off very easily. sad.gif

use cotton bud soaked in hobby thinner(lacquer type) and slowly apply on surface..
the reason of frosting because the top coat can in low temperature or you spray on rainy day..

solution : put it in warm water about 2-3 min before you spray the kit

hope this help.. im also experienced this problem when i first time do top coat the gunpla
*
mmm....i did it under bright hot sun 3pm :T i also sweating :T

could it be sprayed too close + too much?
