FAQs
How should I thin the Seraphim Sepia shade?
Citadel Shade Paints are pre-thinned and designed for direct application. Avoid thinning, as it can affect the shading effect.
Can I use this shade on any miniature material?
Yes, it is compatible with plastic, resin, and metal miniatures.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes immediately after use with water.
How long does it take for the shade to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the environment, but it typically dries within 30 minutes to an hour. Allow it to fully dry before applying additional layers.
Can I mix Seraphim Sepia with other paints?
While not recommended, you can mix a small amount with other Citadel paints to adjust the color, but be careful not to affect the shade's properties.
How should I store the paint?
Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent drying.
What happens if the paint dries out in the pot?
If the paint dries out, add a few drops of water and mix well to attempt to restore the consistency. However, dried paint may not regain its original properties.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thin or watery.
Ensure paint is properly mixed by shaking thoroughly before use. Apply in thin layers to avoid running.
Paint pools in areas and doesn't dry properly.
Remove excess paint from the brush before applying. Dab the excess shade with the brush or a clean tissue, and ensure the model is in a well-ventilated area.
Color appears different after drying.
The final color may vary. Ensure each layer is completely dry before applying additional coats. Test on a non-visible area first.
