Great for soot stains, burn marks, general exhaust discolouration.
- Very concentrated. Least translucent, almost opaque. Very dark.
- Least soluble in water. Most difficult to wipe and smudge.
- Best used on coal wagons and coal yards. Do not apply to models unless you wish create soot staining. Best not to use for general weathering unless you are experienced in using the colour.
- The spray is much faster and more powerful than the other weathering sprays because this is the only spray that contains powder or matting agent.
- Colour: Black with a hint of blue..
How to use:
- Ensure there is good ventilation.
- Wear a face mask when spraying and gloves when smudging.
- Ensure all surfaces to be sprayed are clean, dry and free from grease.
- Apply a coat of matt varnish before starting to protect from possible damage.
- Mask areas of the model that are not to be sprayed.
- Spray over suitable protective sheets.
- Shake the can for at least 5 seconds before use and often while spraying.
- Spray to one side first to clear the nozzle.
- Hold the can in an upright position 300mm from a surface.
- Spray evenly moving the can from side to side.
- Keep button fully depressed while spraying. Spots of concentrated dye may appear if the button is only partially depressed.
- Use sparingly. Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat.
- The colour will vary depending on the number and thickness of coats applied.
- Heavy spraying may result in the dye dripping or puddling.
- Modelmates may not adhere to some very highly polished surfaces.
- Drying time is usually less than a minute for a light coat.
- Caution – solvent can damage some surfaces.
