Product Spotlights
But first, we have a question::
Question: "Will
this (Doctor Ben's Weathering) stain any color plastic or
just white?"
Answer: Since
this is a stain and not a paint, the darker the plastic, the
more coats that may need to be applied. Since I don't finish
anything new--I'm a weathering guy-- I often use the base
color of the item being stained to show thought to some
degree. And when it doesn't, I'll use a dull X-Acto knife to
distress the top coat stain until I achieve the look that I
am after.
Also, I recommend using an old green kitchen
Scotch-Brite(C) to "scuff" up the surface of any shiny
object that I am applying weathering & stains to. The Doctor
Ben's product will stick without this step, but since this
is an really easy process, I found that every little effort
helps!

Doctor Ben's Scale
Consortium
I've been using the Doctor Ben's Plastic Scenery Jar
w/Flip/Sift Lid (#DBZ1495) to Scenery weathering for years.
The Flip/Sift lid opens to seven 3/16" holes on one side
and a 1-1/2" x 2" wedge shaped opening on the opposite
side! (See more Images on website).
The re-offer of this product may only be for a limited
time as the costs have raised significantly and future

this item for at the present time. |
