I did a cast for a special project/ idea that I had, and after I glued everything up, I could see right through the blank! I used about a half bottle of testors acrylic paint to 8 oz of PR.
On one blank, I painted it black with Testors Model Master paint, and another was an old bottle of testors white paint. Both paints didn't cover too well, and the black must have still been wet inside, because that blank blew up and the paint was wet on the tube.
I want to try again with my idea (I think it's pretty cool...), but I would like to get the PR to be more solid. I recently bought some blue pearlex powder and it seems pretty solid in (though I haven't turned it yet or anything). But I want a red color. However, I didn't see that color/ shade when I went to the craft store.
Any suggestions? I like the bright red color I got with the blank backpainted white, but the paint still allowed me to see the glue bubbles through the PR...
Thanks!
