Application Tips and Feature Overview

This 40ml pot contains a thick formula reinforced with resin particles for improved coverage and texture. The paste can be spread or sculpted while wet, offering flexibility for different diorama techniques.

• Drying Time: Approximately 3-4 hours in summer, 4-5 hours in winter.
• Coverage: Sufficient for a B4-sized area with one coat.
• Mixability: Can be mixed with other Tamiya acrylic paints for custom colours.
• Cleaning: Easily cleaned with water before setting, thanks to its water-based nature.

For layered realism try combining this texture paint with washes and dry brushing after it cures. Do not attempt to use this paint in an airbrush because of its dense texture.
