Nav: Vallejo makes a nice pumice which has a fine grain and looks great when painted I use it on all my base's hope this help's.

I know im planning on getting some for christmas or i might get citidel basetex

Caveat Emptor!!!

Citadels product is used up pretty fast and not called Bastex!

Coat d'Arms product is called this way and I have yet to hear negative feedback about it..but why bother. The Pendraken fine sand is good enough for me and it should be for you

Sorry about that I some times get citidel and coat d' arms mixed up is the sand able to get between the feet of the miniatures?

[sebigboss79]

I would say so but careful: The first layer will be very thin.

WAIT untill it is dry and apply THEN the following mix: water, PVA and the desired colour and use the sand again. Adjust quatity in dangerous spots if necessary using and old brush.

WAIT again untill dry and apply a water-PVA topcoat to finish the process.
