How to use

Shake the bottle well before use. Apply the Fanatic Wash with a fine brush to the areas where you want increased shading, allowing capillary action to carry the wash into recesses. Work in thin layers and remove excess from raised surfaces with a damp brush or cloth while the wash is still wet to control the depth of tone. Allow the wash to dry completely between layers before applying additional coats or other paints.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on properly primed miniatures and test compatibility on a scrap piece if working on unusual substrates. Combine with other Warpaints Fanatic Wash colours to adjust warmth or darkness, and seal finished work with an appropriate varnish once fully dry to protect the shaded areas.
