Happy to help Gary. At $.99 an egg at most of the “bargain” stores, Silly Putty is an excellent deal. No residue, and low tack… I’ve become a Silly Putty convert.

I've always had good results spraying model air and model colour (little thinner used). Stuff is easy to clean and using a top coat on it never hurts

Thanks for all the input, my friends! Well, I've gone whole hog into that Vallejo stuff now, ordered all sorts of stuff like flow improver, thinner and some white Vallejo primer, along with their AB cleaner. And, all three Vallejo camo colors came in the mail earlier. I'd better get on with these Vallejo products now with this much invested! :grin: Now, if I could just get the decal sheet I need-it's as rare as hens teeth (wouldn't that figure! :wink: ) apparently.

Best of luck to you Gary on working with Vallejo paints.

Just curious, but what decal sheet are you looking for?

Luck? Gary's going to have to make a sacrifice to the modelling gods. I hate Vallejo paints for spraying. Never got them to work right.
