[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mondotrains [I just finished trying the Bragdon Enterprises chalk and it works great! However, I then gave the boxcar a light coat of Dullcoat and while it produces a flat finish, it has reduced the chalky, dusty appearance and put a kind of sheen over the model. I guess it is a catch-22 situation....use the Dullcoat and reduce the dustiness or leave it alone and the model will pick up fingerprints and the chalk will wipe off. [/quote] Do you have the instruction sheet that came with the Bragdon chalks? At the very end of mine it says in caps "NO OVER-SPRAY SEALER IS NECESSSARY". That's the biggest advantage of their chalks - the built in powdered adhesive is supposed to keep the chalk powder on without overspray of Dullcoat. The instructions also say to rub the chalks into the surface, as the friction activates the built in dry adhesive; the more you rub the stronger the bond. Bob Boudreau
