Hi all,
I have a simple question I just can't seem to find the answer to. I just used an oil wash on panel lines of my Bf-109 which came out great. This is the first time I used an oil wash. How long do I have to let that set and dry before I can spray my laquer coat over the top of it? My wife used to paint with oils and I remember they always took a long time to dry and set up. I wouldn't think they would take as long on a model as they would on a large painted canvas tho.
Thanks and good modeling,
Wayne

The thinner in the oil will act as a drying agent of sorts. The thinner the wash, the faster the drying time. There's no real set time, however, too many variables. Certainly 24 hours will be more than adequate, however.

Same here. When i do my oil wash, i let it settle for at least 24 hours. This will ensure the wash doesnt end up bleeding into the new coat.
