REAPER MASTER SERIES ADDITIVES What Do I Do With This Stuff? There have been two triads of "additives" released in the RMS Paints range, one at the end of the first 108 colors and the second at the very end of the line. But what exactly do you do with this stuff? How much Anti-Shine Additive do you need to use to dull a shiny paint? How much should you thin that Brush-On Primer to get a smooth coat? Read on!! 9106: Flow Improver Type: Additive (Additives are substances added to paint to enhance its performance) Use: Flow Improver is like an obediance class for paint! It breaks down surface tension, so your paint flows smoothly from the brush and with more control--excellent for fine details and painting things like eyes. It also helps washes stay where they belong (surface tension is what makes washes creep up out of the cracks in a model as they dry). Ratio: One drop of flow improver (or "gunk" mix: see Drying Retarder, below) per four drops of paint for basecoating. If more thinning is required, as with a wash or layering, I continue to thin with water. Reaper Master Series Paints have Flow Improver in them already, so you do not need to use too much of this additive to get great results! 9107: Brush-On Sealer Type: Sealer or Additive Use: Two uses. It can be used as a protective finishing coat over a finished model, per its name. If you use it straight from the bottle it will be a satin coat; thin with a little water to make it more matte. Also, it can be added to a paint wash in place of some of the water to make the wash more transparent, so it will dirty raised surfaces less. Ratio: Finishing coat: 4:1 or 3:1 Sealer to water, per your preference. If you wish a thicker coat but want a matte finish, add a drop of Anti-Shine Additive to your mix (see below). As a matte medium to enhance washes, I will use a 2:2:1 ratio of Sealer:water:paint, adding additional water as needed for stronger colors. 9108: Brush-On Primer (white) Type: Primer Use: Apply primer over metal before painting. The primer gives the paint a better surface to adhere to than the bare pewter, which means your paints will be less likely to rub off and chip with handling over time. This is also an idea primer for making touch-ups if your spray primer rubs off with handling while painting the miniature! Ratio: As with any Master Series Paint, thin 4:1 Primer to water for basecoating, and apply in two smooth coats. 9214: Black Primer (brush-on) Type: Primer Use: See above, Brush-On Primer. This primer works very well for getting your black primer basecoat into the deep crevasses your spray didn't reach! Ratio: See above, Brush-On Primer. 9215: Anti-Shine Additive Type: Additive Use: Adding a drop or two of this to shiny paint will dull the shine. Adding a drop of this to Brush-on Sealer will result in a duller, more matte finish. Do not add too much, or your paint will go frosty! The general guideline is that no additive should make up more than 20% of your paint mix. Ratio: 4:1 paint mix to additive at the most. "Paint Mix" refers to your paint after water and other additives like flow improver have been added, so if you have a mix of eight drops paint and four drops water you could use three drops of this. Some brands of paint may work fine with a higher ratio; that is for you to experiment with! 9216: Drying Retarder Type: Additive Use: Adding a drop of this to your paint mix will make it dry slightly slower. Do not add too much, or your paint will take hours or days to dry! Ratio: One or two drops to your paint mix after you have added water and other additives. Users in very dry climates or at high altitudes may need to use a little more. I am very cautious with my use of retarders, as adding too much can have adverse effects on your paint, so I typically will use this to make my "gunk" mix--a combination of 10% Drying Retarder, 40% Flow Improver, and 50% filtered water. I will then use my gunk mix to thin my paint to the 4:1 paint to water basecoat consistancy. Any further thinning will be done with water, as described in Flow Improver, above. And there you have it! In our next article, we'll cover the new Master Series Inks.
