boffinboots Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hello folks. I'm having real trouble getting my chaos black to stay in one place. Kind of an issue when you're painting Black Templars. I had an old pot that was "puddling up" even watered down with some washing liquid. So I've just been to buy a new pot and a similar thing is happening. Is it just an issue with the black (though my white seems to be doing something similar) or have I somehow managed to get two duff pots? Also is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Crimson Fisting Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 It's probably you watering it down too much. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224054-chaos-black/#findComment-2679095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatGrinder Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Shake the pot a good bit. Otherwise you're juts watering it down too much. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224054-chaos-black/#findComment-2679152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadesOfGrey Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Like others said, shake it or even better, stir it. (Just use a toothpick and not a brush!) But if you still have problems, maybe you should post a few pics / your method so we can help you better?

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 That happens to me quite a lot. Normally, I just take an old, dead brush and stir it around until it's paint again.

JayeL Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Are you undercoating your models with a primer? or are you painting onto bare plastic? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224054-chaos-black/#findComment-2680544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
