Hello all! I have a bit of a painting crisis on my hands and was hoping the excellent community here could help me out. You're my only hope! :-) last night I was finishing up the painting on a platoon sized unit of 28mm sci-fi figures and things took a turn for the weird. One of the last things I did was give them a brown acrylic wash to bring out the details.
My nose was bothering me so I didn't realize today but there was something odd about the wash. The figures smell moldy! I took another sniff at the wash today and, sure enough, it smells rank and moldy as well. There is only a slight moldiness i detect on the figures, but I am concerned that it will get worse. I can't think of any way to treat the mold without damaging the acrylic paint. And I really would rather keep my paint job and avoid repainting all these figures.
I am thinking that perhaps if I seal the figures with a crock glossy acrylic spray, the sealer will suffocate any mold. Do any of you fine chaps have an idea to toss my way? Can anyone save my ill fated platoon? :-(
Thanks in advance!
