Man I got to figure out how to do that myself.

Ok so I have painted a long while, with my craft paint I used to just shake and paint out of the caps, on my model masters, I don't shake them I stir them to keep the over flow off the inside cap and sticking then usually let the extra drip onto some plastic surface to paint with. Is this the best w...

Thanks, I'm using the Acrylic can't stand enamels.

When I used to use my craft paints, I would always throw down some black before the silver then go over it with the silver.

Should I do the same with the MM or will I be waisting alot of black?

Will the silver be enough and not need the undercoat?

So the upside down will keep out all the air when not in use?

Won't the paint leak it it's not 100% solid.

Also wouldn't the paint dry in the bottom of the jar and make little flecks in the paint?

I had several bottles of paint and all the sudden after I moved 2 dried up the same time, what makes this happen?

I used them before I moved and I had the lids on tight, also what causes them to get little bits of paint into them?

Thanks

No, I used it once with a small project and was trying it out, since at my job we use it to glue together steel and aluminum rods, but for small applications and on plastic it seems to not work. It did nothing but harden and grow(expand) on the thing I used it for then I had to sand it off and redo ...

Hi, I could not find either of those products so I went with Plastructs plastic weld, I thought it would be the comparable product but it still has no affect on the plastics these things are made out of, is this the same thing those others would be? Because if it is it would have no effect either I ...
