My 2 cents. <br /> <br />Model paints do have a relatively short shelf life, especially after the seal has been broken. Adding thinner to the original bottle also shortens shelf life (I've been told it starts the curing process). Straining may help but that's the pigment you are straining out. <br /> <br />I suggest you get a new bottle of paint, shake or stir it vigorusly and pour into a separate container the portion you will be using and thin this if it needs it. Do not pour the remainder back into the original bottle. Keep the original bottle sealed as tightly as you can and it will last longer. <br /> <br />For painting details such as table tops Testors makes paint sticks similar to a magic marker that works quite well. I use these a lot for yellow and white. <br /> <br />Bob DeWoody
