Not sure about this. But logically, if the paint still hard like rock after you mix with thinner and stir it, I don't think the paint still can use. Maybe there is a way but I don't know.

just add thinner, will work no problem. just remember to use hobby thinner eh!

reason why the paints have hardened is cos the solvent has dried out. adding in thinner should fix it

it's like dried Buncho watercolour, add water will fix it
but in this case is use hobby thinner la

tried.. it will dissolve only top part. guess i have to use thaw slowly

once i tried using hot water to heat up the bottle. worked a bit... not enough though

Need advice, is it 'safe' to use tamiya clear coat labelled for polycarbonate on gunpla kit? I got some leftoverband such a waste to throw it away...thanks in advance.

Should work just fine

Polycarbonate (PS) only for RC body as far i know. For plastic it should have TS or AS designation.

Hi guys, need some pointers on epoxy putty. Recently I bought Tamiya Epoxy Smooth Surface (short strips for around RM20) which fulfilled my requirements since it has a long working time. However, I'm still searching for less costly alternatives at the hardware stores but the longest working time that I found was at most an hour and apparently Kneadatite (aka Green Stuff back when it was repackaged and sold by Games Workshop) and Aves isn't sold in Malaysian stores.

The closest thing I found is Gale Force Grey Stuff (RM70) at Comics Mart in Mid Valley Megamall but I would like to find other brands of epoxy putty that is good for sculpting work and with a long working time which may exist out there.

Question:
will mr. hobby paint bottle exposed to indirect/direct sunlight have any effects? like paint get dried up faster or something? or flaky things appearing?

hi, if i want to achieve Candy look metallic, Mr.surfacer 1000 or Mr.Surfacer 1200 would be better? if 1200, what would be the thinner ratio rate?

Hi, anybody knows where to find Krylon Mette Finish for Art&Craft:

http://www.krylon.com/products/matte-finish/

Somebody at the gundam thread pointed me to Ace Hardware but I've been to multiple Aces and can't find it. The only place I did find is Art Friend @ The curve and they sell it for rm45.

If you guys have any other alternatives, (other than airbrush) please feel free to drop a suggestion.

hi guys, I am interested in buying an airbrush set for beginner. Anyone here have any recommendation for the brand?

Currently I brought u star brand come with airbrush and compressor with tank. Rm690 Sarawak

Are those Krylon can easy find in Malaysia?

I plan to browse some hardware store tomorrow to buy some gold and red spray can but not sure whether they suitable for gunpla or not :\

Any advice ?

hi guys,first time attempt on ab my model kit.all comment and critics are welcome
btw is there any other way to overcome paint scratch problem like in the 4th pic?i already spray with topcoat but seems like no effect at all.

I have try Anchor, Bosny and Toa which have no effect on plastic if done correctly. If in doubt, try spray on runner first .

You can't avoid paint scratches especially for the joints as parts will rub each other and Topcoat is not a forcefield that can protect paint from scratches forever.
