Wow, I found this very interesting. Just thought I'd
mention that I use food colouring that I buy in the
cake box section of the grocery store. It come in tubes
of yellow, blue, red, and green. Naturally, if you mix
the Blue with the red, you get violet, such as what you
might want to coat a 1:35th scale clear styrene wine
bottle. Rick

Did you use successive layers of this Vallejo?, to build depth, and still found the shrinkage to be an issue?Very interested to know about this aspect.( of this product)Mark.
So I take it that most of these products suffer from shrinkage. Which is dependant upon depth! however if this is known, is the idea of over compensating on the initial amount a valid thought. Then cap it off later??
Mark.
Not having an ology in the subject but if you have to build the depth up in layers. I assume you wait for layer No1 to dry then pour layer No2. So in pouring layer No.2 you would back fill any shrinkage in layer No.1. So forth and so forth. Plus would you get a better result if you pour into a more solid/less giving mould and non porous.
Just my thought for the day

It has got a floor. Its called a 'seabed' in nautical terms.. You will have to get to the bottom of it find out who and how it was done.
