Better that than trying to convince people there’s nothing wrong with it.

Make sure you test them when you get them

I don’t have test parts, so I don’t know how to try them, can I try them in any medium?

Do you have something to strip with? Maybe you could just try them on the back of the head and then strip after? You don’t need to make a very big test area. Not sure what else you could use for testing

You can use flanges for testing and then strip them. Or not.

At the moment I have nothing to take out the paint with, I would have to buy it online in USA and bring it to my country, I will try to see in which other way I can do the test

If you use the underside of the flanges for testing you wouldn’t have to strip them because they won’t show.

That’s a great idea.

Putting this out there for anyone who uses this color. This just happened this evening. The resurrection of the paint not curing/factory issues made me extra aware. I took Jesse out of the NuWave, went to do some chores then came back to do some washes on her. I notice a dot on the ball of her foot that the 1st layer of blushing I laid down was gone. Rubbed it with my thumb and VOILA, NO PAINT ADHERENCE!!! This is the only color in this particular mix I used. And it’s not my Nuwave, it is newer and I use a thermometer…

Oh no! May I ask where you bought the painting from?

It would make sense that they were using an alternative material or less of an ingredient to try to get by as a last resort before shutting down though.

I use Q Crimson all the time… no problems, but mine is probably 10 years old. I have started priming all my kits with Matt thinned with Gamsol and a flesh tone added to it as a precaution.

I wish there weren’t a shortage on matte varnish

All my paints came from Jerry’s artarama and MacPhersons 2 years ago…

If it’s two years old, then maybe they’ve been failing since before

Oh goodness. That would be frustrating. Am I understanding correctly that you have been using this paint for two years and never had this happen? I have some of this color purchased pre-pandemic that I just opened up last night and what I notice is that it has that gel-like consistency that Aly pointed out. It is not solid like my other colors and I don’t remember my previous little jar having this characteristic. I have not tested it yet. I wonder if there was something going on even before the pandemic because I bought this around the same time I bought the matte varnish that was shiny. I think there is a thread on here somewhere about it and I know several of us had matte varnish that was coming out with more shine than satin.

I definitely think there were some issues even pre pandemic…
