Greetings, I have been out of modeling for some 20+ years. I have built my diorarm walls using Activ-clay. I want to paint these walls using several shades of arcylic paint. What would I use to seal the arcylic paint?
Thank you,
Spenser
Amysdaddy, just an idea here but you may be able to seal your acrylic paints with Future
brand acrylic floor wax. You must test this first on scrap material. If I learned anything from general and organic chemistry, “like dissolves like.” Future works extremely well with most modeling paints, but I don’t know of compatability with water based acrylics. If this works ok with your test piece you can then dull it down by using dullcote lacquer. Also, I have clear coated over ben moore paints (water based acrylic) with clear dull lacquer and have had no problems. Hope this helps BT.
As long as the paint is dried and cured, Future can be used safely on acrylics.
