Making weathering permanent

You can achieve some great effects using black alcohol over Dullcoated weathering. For example, I'm constructing a "backwoods" water tank car. I wanted the whole tank to have a rusty appearance but the area around the filler pipe and the pump to have the appearance of lime scale and other hard water deposits. First I sprayed the chalk weathering with Dullcoat, let it dry, and then dribbled a small amount of black alcohol in the desired areas. It ran down the filler tube, into the tank rivets, and on around the pump. When it dried, it had the crusty appearance of hard water deposits accumulated over many years. It looks really great! <br /> <br />You can also use this method to depict mortar in "old" brick structures.
