Gentlemen.

I've been happily using Vallejo Model Colour Cold White 70.919.

I've just started using Vallejo Model Colour White 70.951.

The white is awful. Very thin, no coverage. The Cold White is fantastic.

Have I got the a bad bottle, or do I misunderstand the purpose of white?


I did shake the bottle for the same time - used in exactly the same way.

Always use 70951 , never had any problems.

May i suggest a tip i got from lemmey (you know, the mad one)

Put the pot in warm water for a bit and then shake it up and see if it makes a difference.

Pop the teat and stir with the back of a small brush, some Vallejo separate, then the next bottle will be fine.

Oh, get me being helpful, twice!

I'll give that a go. Thank you.

That's what led to the divorce.

Thank you. I am wondering about a bit of florists wire attached to a Dremmel. What could go wrong?

I should probably explain that remark.

Last time I tried that, there was white stuff all over the place.

Don't know what you're all going on about.

I am merely explaining the difficulty I had with a bottle of TippEx some years ago.

Really hard to remove it from the computer screen.

I keep all my metal spues and add a couple of them to each bottle to act as an agitator.  Works a treat.

Always used BB's for agitation.

Readers of a certain vintage will remember agitators.
