People who use Createx Iridescents: Help please?
« on: February 17, 2013, 04:08:21 AM »
So when you make a pony with these, do you seal them, or just heat cure them?

And do you heat cure between layers, or just at the end?

I heat sealed a pony I have been working on for a while, she was almost done apart from details (and hairing) and then I decided to seal her with Mod Podge, out of habit. The Mod Podge, even in its watered down state, peeled off several layers of colour and she's now completely destroyed.

I've airbrushed quite a few other ponies this week, and now I'm terrified and don't know how to finish them?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have never used the iridescents, but I use the white for all of my FBRs. I can tell you it adheres to the plastic differently than lets say Ceramcoat does, it does peel up easier I have noticed. The only thing I could suggest is using a spray sealer, I have used Testor's Dullcote for all of mine and had no issues.

I use the iridescent paints often.  I seal the with Testors Dullcote spray and have had no problems.

Thank you. I'll have to get some.

CSA, do you heat seal between layers? Or at all?
