so need to rush when painting..

just some delay does not mean it will dried up very long! If u did not add any retarded the paint will dry on the instance u applied it (more or less than 5 sec) with retarded it last longer (around 30sec - 1 minute to dried up)!

My personal experience with this stuff aint really good! (It broke my ABS joint after adding too much Retarded Mild) So usually i dun add a lot this stuff (it also make ur paint look lighter like u added a lot of thinner).

Weathering gundam marker is super easy to used and mostly ppl tend to used it with a paint brush, cotton buds and tissue! They wipe those paint to cre8 effect!
