Technical information and recommendations

• Type: fine powder pigment for model weathering
• Volume: 35 ml
• Use: dust, earth, rust, soot, smoke, leaves, patina, terrain, and dioramas

• Wet application: mix with Pigment Binder 26233 or a small amount of water according to the desired consistency
• Surface: looks most natural on a matte or slightly satin surface

Work with pigments gradually and in small amounts. Dry application is well-suited for fine dusting and unifying the surface, while wet application is for stronger deposits, mud, rust, or sediment. Before final fixation, it is advisable to test the result in an inconspicuous area, as varnish and fixer can optically darken the pigment.
