AK Enamel effects LIGHT FILTER FOR WOOD

AK Interactive AK261 Ochre for Sand / Light Filter for Wood (35 ml) is a translucent enamel filter designed to subtly alter the base color tone. This specific variant is designed for sandy shades and light-colored wood parts. It subtly alters sandy base colors, adding depth to them, and also works well on parts designed to imitate light wood.

This filter is not a wash. A wash concentrates in seams and recesses, while a filter is applied in minimal quantities over a larger area. It helps break up the monotony of a single-color camouflage, harmonize multiple shades, or color-code selected panels without obscuring the base or fine details.

Recommended Procedure

1. Shake the bottle thoroughly. The surface must be completely dry, painted, and varnished; the manufacturer particularly recommends a satin finish.
2. Simply dampen a flat, soft brush with the filter. The brush should not be so saturated that the product drips from it.
3. Spread the filter into a very thin, even layer without puddles or flooding the details. Blend the strokes smoothly so that no sharp patches form after drying.
4. To achieve a uniform overall look, cover the entire surface; for color variation, work only on selected panels or areas.
5. Let the layer dry completely before assessing the final tone. Build up the intensity with additional thin layers, not a single thick application.

Practical tip: On wood, apply the filter in the direction of the grain; on sand camouflage, use it as a translucent full-surface layer.

The filter can be thinned, adjusted, or removed using AK Interactive White Spirit 35 ml. For finer work, AK Interactive Odorless Thinner 35 ml is recommended.
