I had just finished a 3-tone camo paint scheme on a Tiger I paint master for a company who shall remain un-named. The markings and the weathering were done. I thought it looked rather cool! The only thing left to do was to over spray the finished model with a clear flat coat to tie everything together. I used a new bottle of Polly S water based clear flat for the job. About 10 minutes after airbrushing the model, I saw the entire model was developing a white frost coat. I tried respraying but the frost coat remained! The model was ruined until a friend offered a suggestion....over spray the model with Future floor wax! This fixed the problem and the bottle of Polly S went into the trash. I now use Dull Coat exclusively.
