All right here's another rookie question for you veterans. Is there much difference in the acrylic paints in a bottle or the tubes? In my few painted carvings I've always used the bottles, I've never tried the tubes. |

You will get a hundred different responses on this on. But just remember. Somewhere there is a big pot of paint and all the companies are lined up to take their turn at the dipper. Tube, tub or bottle it's all the same.

cedarshavings, i use the bottles from delta/ceramcoat, or americana, these are all that i have used and they have done well. the one thing to remember with acrylic paint is to thin it, it is plastic and needs thinning. bart |
