Thanks for the instructions B_S and B_B. I thrive on instructions, not making judgment calls lol. It's invaluable to know how this paint behaves once applied, particularly being hard as wood on the surface, but still like taffy underneath! That's a good heads up.
I recently painted up a replica of a Jason hockey mask with PlastiCote from a can and despite it saying fully dry in 48 hrs, decided to wait a week before handling. Right to the hour, a week passed and it still gave off a solvent odour but I thought surely it's cured plenty. Wrong. To my horror, my finger marks stayed visible in certain light and nothing I tried, such soapy water removed them. Then, even worse, after using making tape to paint on the blue chevrons like in the fifth movie, the tape left impressions all over the white part. Luckily you have to look carefully up close in the right light to detect them. From more than two feet away, it looks flawless. I'll have to attempt to carefully rub back the marks down the line with 2000 grit wet and dry. How long do you have to leave it though, a month, six weeks, half a year?!?
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
