I usually only use Tamiya paints

Response to MIG Filters Washes Reacting with Tamiya Paint
Hello

I usually only use Tamiya paints. I have been using them for years because I am familiar with the properties of this product. I work for MIG Productions and use the products we produce to finish every model I construct. I have never had the problems being described above. Most of the time I apply a few coats of Tamiya clear after the base coat but have not had problems in the past when I have preferred not to. I never use Future.

The thinner in our washes and filters is a bit toward the hot side. I apply the washes and filters in small amounts anyway for better control during application.

Could your base coat have been a bit thin? Did it have ample time to set? Tamiya usually takes about 40 minutes depending on the thinner you use. Did you apply a coat of primer? Have you had this problem in the past and what paints to you usually use?

Again, it sounds unusual because I have not had this problem. I lot of people use our products over Tamiya paints. Let me know your thoughts.

Sincerely
ANPW
