well it's official I am a proper alchemist :-)

The duck dispatchers painted just with acetone and graphite, did not plate as well and the plating itself is not very strong, some areas flake off easily.
The paint with secret ingredient - on the other hand. Performed as good as or better than the expensive paint :-)

And i know what you're thinking: The answer is NO, it's a secret ingredient - i can't tell you - that's what secret means :-)

I am truly an evil genius !

acetone and graphite in the middle, S.E paint left and right.

The reason it's so much better is that it sticks to the pla much much better and the graphite itself is bound tighter together. You also need a much thinner coating than with either acetone and graphite or the commercial paint.

The commercial stuff needs 24 hours to dry an works best with 2 coats. My stuff, 2 minutes to dry and works with 1 coat :-)

Yeah I'm feeling smug lol
