sounds like you need to thin the testors some more.
as for cleaning it, im not familiar with it so cant say, sorry. if its like pactra, something like cellulose thinners would do the job.
as for paint, i will be stocking createx in about a week or so.
i will be tryng to get some spaz stix also.
there is the spaz stix uk site but from my personal experience the service is..
but then ive tried contacting spaz stix direct and their service isnt any better so what can you expect
if you cant get the sschrome then the alclad chrome is the next best thing.
