Apply very light pressure and twist the pen tip only slightly to expose a minimal amount of product. Feather the application with a dry or slightly damp brush.
Yes, the Tamiya Weathering Stick can be used to add snow details to model figures, such as dusting their uniforms or equipment.
Wipe the tip with a damp cloth or cotton swab immediately after use. If the material has dried, a bit of water can help loosen it.
The weathering effect is relatively permanent once dry, but can be removed or adjusted with water if done so shortly after application. For permanence on certain surfaces, a clear coat sealant can be applied over the dried effect.
It can be used on plastic, resin, metal, and painted surfaces commonly found in model building.
No, the pen-style applicator is self-contained. A brush (dry or slightly damp) is helpful for blending.
Yes, you can build up layers by twisting the pen to expose more product and applying additional coats. Allow each layer to set slightly before adding another.
Twist the pen tip further. Ensure the tip is not clogged; gently clean with a damp swab if necessary.
Apply a lighter coat. Use a dry or slightly damp brush to gently blend and reduce the texture. You can also try feathering the application for a more subtle look.
Ensure the model surface is clean and free of dust or oils. For difficult surfaces, a light primer may improve adhesion.
Work in small sections. Use a slightly damp brush to gently feather the edges and blend into the surrounding area before the product fully dries.
Setup: The Tamiya Weathering Stick requires no complex setup. Simply twist the tip of the pen to expose the weathering material. Test the flow on a scrap piece or hidden area of your model first.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use on a wide range of model surfaces, including plastic, resin, and painted finishes. It can be used in conjunction with Tamiya's Diorama Texture Paints and other acrylic-based model paints. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or grease.
Care: Store the stick with the tip retracted to prevent drying out. Clean the applicator tip with a damp cloth or cotton swab immediately after use if it becomes soiled. Keep the cap on securely when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place.
