Hello,
I tried my first attempt with AK filters yesterday and I think the coat might have went on too heavy. I have a few panels that show some tide/brush stroke. Is there a way to fix this? Would an another coat thinned out help blend those marks?
I am still struggling with how heavy filters should go on. I try to keep it wet so I keep the carrier with the pigments but I don't want it too wet to prevent it being a wash. Would a better approach be to thin out the filter first and than use it?
Thank you,
Jeff
PS I tried searching the forums first but I didn't see anything on correcting filter issues.

Hello
To make a filter properly, the brush must be weak, with few quantity of the product. It should apply a very thin layer on the surface wetting the surface, not flooded it. that is very important.
If any mark appears when it is dried, you can use a clean brush moistened with White Spirit and clean and correct those marks.
Can it fix your problem??
