Water Soluble Patina Set

Water-soluble Patina is a partially water-based decorative patina designed to create realistic effects of aging, dirt, rust, moisture, soot, wear and tonal variations on miniatures, models, backdrops, props and other non-porous surfaces. Its formula provides an ultra-matte, natural finish and is designed to allow pigments to organically settle into crevices, textures and reliefs, achieving more realistic results than conventional paints. In addition, it is a non-toxic acrylic product with no harsh fumes.

It is important to shake the product well before each use, as some components may separate and settle to the bottom of the container during storage. If the product has been left to stand for a long time, you can use metal balls to mix it thoroughly. It is not recommended to use a wet palette. It can be applied directly or diluted slightly with water if necessary. Clean brushes and tools with water or alcohol immediately after use and prevent the product from drying on them.

It can also be used with an airbrush to achieve smoother transitions, weathering effects and large-scale aging effects. Depending on the pressure used in the compressor, the product may need to be slightly diluted for airbrushing. In this case, add a few drops of water and mix until well diluted. Clean the airbrush as usual after use.

Apply to clean, dry and oil-free surfaces such as plastics, resins or metal. Not recommended for porous or absorbent surfaces such as untreated wood or paper. The intensity of the effect will depend on the amount applied, the number of layers and the technique used. To remove and activate the product, use cotton swabs, a brush or a sponge moistened with water to remove excess product and activate the product, achieving finishes ranging from subtle and subtle to more intense, irregular and personalized effects.

As it is partially water-soluble, the finish may change if it gets wet or is handled with wet hands; therefore, it is recommended to fix the final result with a matt varnish to preserve and maintain its natural appearance.

The package contains 6 shades.
