AK Weathering Products For Ships Dark Wash For Wood Decks (35 ml)
AK Interactive AK301 Dark Wash for Wood Decks (35 ml) is an enamel model-making wash designed for wooden ship decks. Color: dark brown. It highlights the gaps between planks, the deck’s structure, and shaded areas on wooden ship decks. Volume: 35 ml.
AK Interactive AK301 Dark Wash for Wood Decks (35 ml) is a ready-to-use enamel wash with good flow that highlights seams, rivets, welds, panels, and other recessed details. This specific shade is designed for wooden ship decks. It highlights the gaps between planks, the deck’s structure, and shaded areas on wooden ship decks.
The wash is not a covering paint. Its thin consistency allows it to flow into recesses, where it creates shadows and visually separates individual structural elements. The intensity can be controlled by the amount of product applied and by subsequent cleaning of the surface.
Recommended Procedure
- Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly mixed.
- Apply to a completely dry, painted or varnished surface. A smooth satin or glossy varnish will facilitate precise seepage into the joints; if using an unfamiliar combination, first test compatibility on a hidden area.
- Using a medium-sized round brush, apply the wash around details, into joints, and into recesses. For a precise pin wash, use a fine, pointed brush.
- Let the product dry for about 15 minutes. Remove excess with a clean brush lightly dampened with White Spirit or a milder, odorless thinner.
- Repeat the cleaning process until only the desired shadow remains around the details. Allow the layer to dry thoroughly before applying any further enamel effects.
Helpful tip: Apply the product along the seams and grain of the planks. Wipe away excess in the direction of the deck to avoid creating cross-hatching.
Use AK Interactive White Spirit 35 ml to touch up and remove excess paint. For a gentler and less aggressive blending, AK Interactive Odorless Thinner 35 ml is recommended.
