The bubbles under the surface happens to me too sometimes. It might be the cold weather, not sure. Anybody out there have an answer for us? Remember to dust the mold with baby powder or talc to avoid surface bubbles. I always give my castings a scrubbing with some warm water before painting in an attempt to clean off anything that might keep the paint from sticking. You can use primer as a base coat (I use Krylon), then you can drybrush or put an antique over it with enamel or acrylic. I've used shoe polish as an antiquing/wash. Clysdalle, how are you doing?
