Having a problem with the "hairspray" method>>>>> July 29 2012 at 5:29 AM		Larry (Login audiguy) from IP address 98.224.169.103


OK Experten, what am I doing wrong?? I cannot get the acrylic white to "chip" off like I saw in several of the videos. Here is what I have done: 1) Painted model as normal using enamel paint. 2) 2 coats of gloss clear enamel, let dry 3) 3 coats of hairspray administered thru my airbrush and let dry. 4) thinned Tamiya flat white acrylic paint applied via airbrush and left to dry like the videos state. I then took a stiff coarse brush with warm water as directed and it will just not remove any of the white paint what so ever. I brushed it so much and so hard that it eventually just wore a hole thru the white. Nothing near what it should be doing. Fortunately I have several 1/350 USS Missouri hulls in which I am experimenting on before I hit my Tiger. Ideas Guys?? Regards, Larry @ AUDI
