Fixing a lumpy mix
A lumpy mix is a sign that your paint mix has:
- Not been mixed enough
- Has slightly dried if it was left out for a period of time
To fix is simple!
- Mix it again for longer and more thoroughly
- When leaving out paints cover them, to fix this issue just run it through a strainer or if its still not working, start again
Fixing a runny mix
A runny mix is a sign that you have added too much pouring medium/floetrol. So just add more paint and mix again!
Fixing a thick mix
A thick mix is a sign that you have too much paint added. Simply add more pouring medium/floetrol and mix again!
