cam Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I haven't been able to sit down and hobby since late June, and the other day I had some time so I tried doing some detail painting with the brush paints. My problem is the flat paints came out semi-gloss and did not harden. even after a few days. Did I not stir the pant enough? Iv'e never had this problem before, but Iv'e never taken three and a half months off from the hobby before. Has anyone else had this problem ? any help would be appreciated . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckmech Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 If you are using testors enamel make sure it is stirred real good. I cut a piece of plastic tree into a tee shape so the small end will fit in the bottle and stir until all paint is the same thickness Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Stir the bejeepers out of it! The more you stir it the flatter it gets, even when 'new'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Stirring is good. I also like to put a few "BB's" in the bottle so that when you shake it, the BB's help in mixing the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
