Problems With Acrylics And Resolene

[Sona]

Hi there,

I am from Germany and this is my first post here so please excuse if my english isn´t perfect, but I´ll do my very best ^^

I´ll introduce myself later on with some pics of my stuff, but this problem right now is more important to me.

I´ve got some problems with a project I used Resolene over some cheap white acrylics (no Cova Color, just acrylic paint).

I used a (higher quality) golden acrylic over Fiebings royal blue before and sealed it with resolene -> had no problems at all, everything was just fine.

But now I used a (cheap) white Acrylic paint over the same blue, added some details with the same golden Acrylics and sealed it again with resolene: First problem was the colour changing from white to some red-like spots. But I have already found some topics on that. The more interesting problem is, that I can rub off the resolene itself in the areas I used the white acrylic paint. Even the areas where I used gold over the white are no problem at all, just the white ones.

It looks like some glue-remains on a table you can easily rub off by using your fingers, in some areas you even can pull it off like a very thin skin.

I never had such a problem before and also didn´t find it in this forum by using the search engine.

My idea right now is to buy a acrylic paint from the same brand as the golden one, put one or two thin layers above the white areas and try it again. Do you thinkthat could work? I have already looked for shops, selling Angelus and Tarrago over here but i dind´t find anything I would pay shipment costs, so for one bottle of acrylics I would use so often it doesn´t make sense to me at all

A usefull information I might mention is, that I let everything dry for about 24 hours after every single step of the coloring process. So there shouldn´t be any problems about that.

looking forward to your opinion.
