The Pan Pastels are "sticky", while you can still rub them off they are not going to just brush or fall off once you have either brushed or "sponged" them on. They can be sealed with dullcote although if they are applied to thinly they will "disappear" so make sure you apply them thickly if you do this. Loose powders can be fixed by either mixing the with isopropyl alcohol and applying wet or rub them on with a brush and then gently apply the alcohol afterwards. Depends on how much control you want. They can still be rubbed off but it is difficult. Both MiG and AK make a "fixer" that can be applied afterwards or mixed in that is damn near permanent. I wish I know what it really was. Dullcote on loose powders can make them "disappear" as well. I think it has something to do with both the pressure of the spray and how the lacquer of the dullcote penetrates the powder on the model.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-36907639492273738162014-12-09T15:45:18.394-07:002014-12-09T15:45:18.394-07:00Must admit I am curious about these weathering pow...Must admit I am curious about these weathering powders... once you have applied it to the model, how do you get it to stay on? I would imagine it would just fall or brush off?Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-48003955586403935842014-12-09T07:41:34.239-07:002014-12-09T07:41:34.239-07:00They can still be a little messy, but nothing like...They can still be a little messy, but nothing like managing to knock over a pot of loose pigment!Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-49550393120293056272014-12-09T01:26:23.822-07:002014-12-09T01:26:23.822-07:00Oh, those PanPastels look good, thanks.
