Good Morning to you too Ed:-)
Lets see how manny of the q's I can answer:-)
What can they be reduced with? There is a color "neutral" and they have a reducer, both works. I always gets at least 2 pints of the stuff, it works well.
Are they lifted by NeatLac? I don't know, I have never used neatlack.
Do they get "muddy" when combining a few colors together, to get another shade? I blend them with eachother as I please...And they stay vivid if that is what I want...I started out with the primary colors, red, blue, yellow (use this alot) black and green, just to make a simple start. I do have a few more colors today, I love the saddle and army tan and a few more, still I blend most colors on the spot.
How many little bottles, of reduced shades do you have??? Trick question? :-) I have no idea, if i made a guess...15-20 or so? I mix a color and when using it I ad the reducer, I then use the paper plates (with a plastic coat on) to get the right amount of the color.
What I also like is...Every color range here has its own brush and I don't have to clean them in between use (I Love that) Next time I need it I just dip it in the color, it takes a few seconds then the brush is good to go again:-)
I have actually contacted them to see if I could find a retailer in Europe, they're working on it...I really don't want to change this so I'm hoping here.............Very nice people to deal with:-)
