Full details

FAQs
Do I need to thin this paint with water?
While it can be used directly from the pot, thinning with a small amount of water or a medium on a palette often results in a smoother finish.
Can I use this on resin miniatures?
Yes, Sycorax Bronze adheres well to plastic, metal, and resin models, provided they have been properly primed.
Is this paint toxic?
No, it is a non-toxic water-based acrylic paint safe for standard hobby use.
How should I store my paint pots?
Store them upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend their shelf life.
Can I mix this with other colors?
Yes, it can be mixed with other acrylic paints, though mixing with other metallics often yields the most consistent results.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven
Ensure you are using multiple thin layers rather than one heavy coat. Allow sufficient drying time between applications.
Pigments have separated at the bottom of the pot
Shake the pot thoroughly for 30-60 seconds. If the paint is old, consider using a stainless steel agitator bead inside the pot.
Paint is drying too fast on the brush
Use a wet palette to maintain the moisture of the paint for longer durations and prevent it from clogging your brush bristles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your miniature has been properly primed and base-coated. Shake the 12ml pot vigorously before opening to ensure the metallic pigments are evenly distributed. If the paint feels too thick, transfer a small amount to a wet palette and thin with a drop of water. After use, ensure the flip-top lid clicks shut completely to prevent the acrylic medium from drying out. Clean your brushes immediately after use with clean water or a dedicated brush cleaner to preserve the integrity of the bristles.
