Model Railroading > cleaning before clear coatDate: 02/13/05 08:35 cleaning before clear coat Author: DILWORTH question for painters before clear coating your painted and decaled model do you wash the model?....
Date: 02/13/05 08:54 Re: cleaning before clear coat Author: GLC Yes, I use warm water and a Dawn dish soap, then blow dry. If you live in an area with really hard water that can leave spots, I would use a final rinse of distilled water after I got the soap off. I found a gallon of distilled water would last about 20 models before I needed to replace it. On light colors the spots will show up again several months after you are done.
