Brian613 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The Sarcophagus was okay this morning the tackiness had not returned so Pledge / Future + heating seems to be one way to get rid of the tackiness. I have another group of figures (soft plastic non-Reaper and they were washed) that I primed with Vallejo acrylic primer (airbrush, no solvent) and they dried shiny and tacky. However I primed some of the same figures with Gesso by hand and they were flat and not tacky. I then painted the Gesso by hand over one of the figures primed with Vallejo and it dried flat and non-tacky, so I guess it sealed the problem. From now on I will base coat / prime all Bones and similar soft plastic figures with Gesso (it comes in black, white and grey). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Urlik Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Yikes! I have no suggestion where to go now, mostly because you’ve got a lot going on, but in the future I’d suggest going the boiling water for 3 - 10 minutes, followed by a cold water soak, then drying. I think this does a better job of pulling unreacted polymerizing agents off the model surface. Still, that’s disappointing because I really don’t think you’ve done anything “wrong.” ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
