BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Like it says in the title I’m having issue with the compound flaking off after it dries. Any helpful tips to solve this problem ?

Solution Grotsmasha Posted March 4, 2023 Solution Share Posted March 4, 2023 I had this problem, and the solution I've found is to put a layer of paint on the base before the Mordant Earth, even if it's just Black. It seems to give the texture a better surface to stick to. Vigorous dry brushing may still pop some off, but is significantly better to work with.

Firedrake Cordova Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I've also seen that painting over the top of the dried Mordant Earth with diluted PVA or matte varnish/Lahmian medium can help prevent it flaking off.

Madao Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I am using diluted PVA glue on the bases before applying Mordant Earth and never had problems with flaking off. I have started doing it in hope, that it will enchance the cracking effect as well, but it might be only a placebo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377795-problem-with-mordant-earth-technical-flaking-off-the-base/#findComment-5916660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 @Madao The thicker you make the layer, the more pronounced the cracking will be Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377795-problem-with-mordant-earth-technical-flaking-off-the-base/#findComment-5916667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
