Will have to try 'em both then, won't I?

I used an Exacto knife and scraped into a small container. Added water and a drop of dishwashing liquid and "waaa-bammm!" - instant weathering goop. What I really liked Jan is I would do one section, then fiddle with something else and maybe a day or two later I would need the pastel mix again, (it was dried up in the container) just add some water, maybe alittle more liquid and it was solvent again.

Make sure you have a coat of gloss on first. If you make a mistake, it cleans up real easy.

You may have to play around like I did to get what you're comfortable with. But once I was used to it, it was great.
