I use DullCote in rattlecans, too, beats messing around with measuring and ratios. I haven't noticed any yellowing, myself, either.
Prost!

Cheers Brad!... Thats confirmed I have bought well!.... I have got to get use to these little difference's, with descriptions! Rattlecans = America, (Sounds like a nasty snake about to have a piece of me)..... Spray-Cans = British, well pretty boring really.

Hi, Mark, we call 'em spray cans, too, but I notice among modelers, rattlecans/rattle-cans is often used, too.
That's like "decals" - we tend to pronounce it as "dee-kals", but I hear a lot of our Canadian cousins pronounce it as "deckles". Sometimes I'll write it out that way, just for fun.
I was a language major, so these things really interest me.
Prost!

Hi Mark, be careful with Dullcote as you can end up with white spots all over your model. Make sure that the can is heated before you spray. If you end up with spotting, heat the can and respray, the spots will disappear.

Put it on a radiator, or in a bowl of hot water Mark.@ Keith, Thanks for the advice!... But, I am well known for 'Blowing things up',.. even things that can't be 'Blown-up!

Beat me to it Carl.........sound advice, hot water is probably the safest approach if you are accident prone

Hand-hot water - nothing higher than this to be safe. And on the off chance your can has any rust along the seams, don't risk it!
