Oh good! Thank you! I was worried I was doing something wrong with the way I was applying them.
I think that people are probably referring to Mister Super Clear, which people use on dolls and Breyers. It seems to be working for me too. The Testors Dullcote wasn’t cutting it. It’s building up now, though!
The colors you’re getting…just SO beautiful. I’m inspired! 😍
My phone has eaten my reply twice, but long story short I got really frustrated and decided to figure it out. The area I was poking at was a large filled area of damage from her second accident, which exposed a repair made after the first (my stone kitty has had a hard time). I literally couldn’t see the color difference until I got fed up and looked at it in full sun.
Mystery solved! Thank you Melody for the reassurance, I no longer feel like I’m imagining things, although I do feel like a bit of a jerk for questioning the quality control, which I know is good. Too good to let through two flawed pieces to the same person. In my defense, whatever this stuff is? It’s TOUGH.
@kujacker Yours are gorgeous! What do you use between coats of pastels? And how many coats do you do? I’m having trouble getting mine to adhere. They’re Rembrandt pastels I ground up to a powder. I would love to be able to get that lovely soft shading.
@ everyone else, I have a PYO from a long time ago and an old, damaged cat gargoyle it’s safe for me to pick at. This new PYO is pretty much the same as the old PYO, maybe a bit softer but not too much. The cat is much, much harder than either.
ADDITION:
Ohhh my lord has anyone ever tried to harden the gypsum, maybe with something like CA/superglue? I wasn’t expecting it to be so much softer than the regular pieces, which are like rock.
Hi! How are you doing on this project? Have you started/finished?
I haven’t done a Windstone PYO (bout to start when mine arrives) but I have done 3D statue/figurine painting, have experience making acrylic LOOK like watercolor, and may have some advice you can use. Especially after I start on mine, I need to see how the gypsum reacts with my sealer.
We can PM or I can infodump here so others can find it in future maybe?
