I usually just use air for that.

Yeah, that way the dust can settle right back down on your freshly laid clear...
Tack cloth = no airborne dust
shardian:
Yeah I guess it your fault. :angry: ;D
I should have thought twice though, because alcohol also wipes off the paint pen. I learned that when taking a q-tip to the star rollovers.
The magenta is staying as-is. The way that color changes with clear, there is no way I will ever match it up properly. Even though I added a ton of white, its final color was almost the same as straight from the bottle magenta! It looks 'good enough' for an old game. I just want to finish it up and get it back together.

Applied another thick coat of Polycrylic last night. I wasn't entirely happy with the way the clear 'touchups' turned out, but think by the time I put 1 or 2 more coats on, it should work out okay. I doubt I will get a 100% level surface from all of the bare wood areas, but it will be good enough. The inserts still aren't going to level either. I'll wait 48 hours before messing with this coat.

For some reason I thought you weren't using spray cans. I used polycrylic through my spray gun and put it on REALLY thick. (This was on my Moon Patrol after stenciling.) It turned out very smooth and hard.
I'm going to have to invest in a HVLP spray gun though after seeing Spyridon's recent paint results. Seems like he had little overspray. I seldom use my gun because the overspray is killer.
