Stain is designed to soak into woodwith most of the liquid being absorbed and a small amount of evaporation. For dipping you essentialy need a pigmented varnish. The all in one we use is a convenient translucent brown, to which Stu has added some dark stain to adjust the colour. Stain is good as a tint because it is basically pigment in a translucient base. Theoretically (Clear Varnish + Stain) = Dipping mix. The only rule is they need to have solvent. usually mineral turps. I am going to try mixing clear enamel varnish with enamel tamia smoke and clear green and try for a colour to dip some plague marines Brian, Pure stain will never dry properly, it needs the varnish to set.

I'm just basing and dipping at pace at the moment. I should assemble a hero figure and try overpainting on that for a little extra detail. Brian, to be honest I wouldn't know about just a pure stain - what's the product's recommended drying time? With the mixed Wattyl stain/varnish product I find overnight is fine for a full dry. I also elevate my dipped figures by using old plastic GW sprue as a 'drying rack'. That lets air circulate around the entire figure and it's base which helps I believe, particularly since when you dip you tend to get a fair amount of varnish around and under the base.

I ask because I tried an orc with a stain, sans the varnish, and it feels tacky a day later. Hi Stu

I then highlight areas of flesh, uniform and weapons. To give further definition, I will even black line. Then re-seal it with dullcote.

I am sold on the dipping now and probably wouldn't consider going back to highlighting etc etc any time soon. look forward to seeing more warhammer, mate. Regards, Monty Nice one, again, Stu!
