Xeraxen Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have two pots of this Citadel Dry paint, and both aren't so much paint as jell-o in regards to texture. I can't so much as dip my paintbrush into the cubed chunks as lift one out and mash it repeatedly on my mixing pad until I can pass my brush over it. Even then, it has little random chunks still in it. I've other citadel dry paints such as Lucius Lilac, and those didn't have the jell-o quality to them. I probably got a bad batch of Golden Gryphon... in the two separate purchases I mad over a two-week interval. >_> Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone recommend an alternative paint that will still get the beautiful effect of Golden Gryphon?

*Furyou Miko Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just mix a little Medium with it. You'll turn it into regular paint rather than Dry, but at least it'll be usable.

Thanks! :D Any particular amount? I assume I should gradually add more and more until it's the viscosity I prefer?

Doctor Perils Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Shameless necromancy here, but I've got the same problem with the only pot of citadel dry paint I ever had (for two years now I thought it was supposed to be like that, and I've only just discovered that it was supposed to be at least slightly runny). I hated it so much that I've never gone back to buy any more of the stuff. I'm finally getting some Lahmian medium (I've never really found a use for it before now), and I was wondering if anybody had any tips to resurrect my Dry paint as actual Dry paint (and not another shade of cream white paint) ? EDIT: I tried looking for a more recent post on the subject, but the only thread that came up on the search-fu was this one.

Bryan Blaire Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Add the Lamian Medium just a few drops (a good 2 brush tip loaded with medium would probably work as well) at a time, dribble it on the surface, try to mix it just a little with a toothpick or something to try and get the medium to spread just a little. Wait a day or so, see how it is. Do that over a couple of days and you will hopefully reconstitute it into a more useable dry form. You may end up getting it a little too wet, so you may have to end up letting it dry back out just a little. Personally, I haven't had a lot of luck with the Dry compounds for anything other than converting them back into lighter shades of paint with a lot of medium and I only really like dry brushing on materials with fur or feathers, so I hope this method works for you. Just take it slow with adding the medium because you don't want too much, but I confess my ignorance on the subject.
