Lint Free Wipes.

Post by jarndice »

I get pretty fed up when prepping a build for paint when I wipe it over with Acrylic thinners I often end up with either lint from a cloth caught on the edges of Hatches etc or an oily smear from impregnated paper tissues,
Would a regular supermarket paper towel do the job or do I need something more specialised?

There's one called blitz? That's very good. Use it to wipe down my boats prior painting.

I use Asda kitchen wipes, they seem to have alcohol in them, takes any crap straight off and dries in minutes. Only £1 a pack.

An old topic, but you can get a putty gel for cleaning models now - put Magic Clean Putty in google. Expensive for what it is, but better than destroying your prized possession!
