Whilst this may have been true twenty years ago great strides have been made in recent years. There are now water soluble acrylic polymers that are just as strong as their solvent soluble equivalents. This is certainly true in paint for the automotive industry: whether this has completely trickled down to hobby and art products is a moot point."Vexilliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568117694302239705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202580486252841248.post-50006984381870830642010-12-04T12:29:39.711+00:002010-12-04T12:29:39.711+00:00More articles:
