Not necessarily a bad effect, as it gives the painted-on liquid rust a lot of texture if that's what you're after - just something to bear in mind.<br /><br />The rust liquid might likely be light reddish-orange when it dries, so don't forget to shade it as you would with any other color, unless you want a really stark appearance.<br /><br />Good luck with your liquid rust experiment! My bottle from years ago is still going strong, and no odd results with any of the numerous figures I've used it on.Tinweaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04293563894232746690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22606431.post-7194729764906035232010-03-04T13:54:48.388-05:002010-03-04T13:54:48.388-05:00That rust effects seems very similar to a product ...That rust effects seems very similar to a product I bought (Deluxe Materials Rust Effect). You mix a powder with a liquid and apply the resulting paste, and I expect the powder is simply metal particles and the liquid is the acid/ bleach mix. The results are pretty spectacular (I posted about it on my blog).<br /><br />Good luck with your experiment!Sholtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576403929813478210noreply@blogger.com
