Thank you brother. I paint REALLY slow, supplemented by patience. Oldschool but still no substitute for it . You got it right on the layers... " thin". Almost water-like. Thin layer on top of another until it covers to your liking.
That's the way to do it! You keep doing it and things will happen. I check out a lot of the posts here and you're making strides. Thank you for the kind words brother.
