FAQs

What is AK Interactive Splatter Effects - Accumulated Dust used for?

It's used to create realistic textures of accumulated dust on model vehicles, dioramas, and vignettes, especially on lower parts and terrain.

How can I apply this product?

You can apply it with a brush for texture, splatter it using a brush and stick, or use airflow from an airbrush over a loaded brush for dispersed effects.

Can I thin this product?

Yes, it can be thinned with water or an acrylic thinner to adjust its consistency and fluidity for different application methods.

Is this product safe to use?

Yes, the formula is non-toxic.

How do I clean my brushes after using this product?

Clean brushes immediately with water. If the product has dried on the brush, use a dedicated brush cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

What is the best way to achieve a realistic dust effect on a model car's tires?

Apply a thicker layer to the lower sidewalls of the tires and allow it to dry. You can then gently brush away some of the dried texture to reveal the tire tread, simulating wear.

Can this be used on a finished painted model?

Yes, it can be applied to finished painted models. Ensure the paint is fully cured and the surface is clean. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Product is too thick for desired effect

Thin the product with a small amount of water or acrylic thinner until the desired fluidity is achieved. Start with a few drops and gradually add more.

Uneven texture when brushing

Ensure your brush is loaded evenly. For a smoother texture, use a softer brush or slightly thin the product. For a more rugged texture, use a stiffer brush and apply with a dabbing motion.

Splatter effect is too coarse or too fine

Experiment with the distance between the brush and the model, the amount of product on the brush, and the force used for splattering. For finer splatters using the airbrush method, increase airflow or use a more thinned mixture.

Product is not adhering well

Ensure the surface of your model is clean and free of dust, grease, or old paint finishes that may prevent proper adhesion. A light primer might also improve adhesion.
