ALCAD gloss black base applied and this stuff takes forever to dry. Going forward I will use Model Master Gloss Black as my base for all applications having glossy ALCAD metallics as topcoat. This dries much quicker. After 8 days the ALclad Gloss black base was still noticeably tacky--not dry! And I didnt even thin the stuff before airbrushing. This is a known flaw in the paint world. All other ALCLADS dry well/normal, thankfully because they are awesome..
