Why Flory Washes work so well


Flory Models Washes are designed to make weathering less stressful and more repeatable. They flow into recessed detail beautifully, and because they’re water-based you can remove, soften, and blend them back until the finish looks exactly how you want. Whether you’re doing crisp panel lines on a modern jet or dusty grime on a 1/35 vehicle, Flory gives you fast results without harsh solvents.

The Flory wash method


Apply the wash over a sealed surface (gloss or satin works best), let it fully dry, then gently remove the excess with a slightly damp cloth, sponge, or cotton bud. You control the final look — from subtle definition to heavy grime — simply by how much you wipe back. Finish with your preferred clear coat.

Collapsible content

Do I need to gloss coat first?


A gloss or satin clear coat helps the wash flow and makes cleanup easier, especially on aircraft panel lines.

What do I use to remove the excess?


A lightly damp cloth, sponge, or cotton bud. Start gentle and build up.

Can I use it over acrylic paint?


Yes — sealing with a clear coat is recommended for the most predictable results.

How long should I let it dry?


Until fully dry to the touch. Once dry, cleanup is simple and controlled.

Is it safe over decals?


Yes, especially if the decals are sealed under a clear coat.

What’s the best finish for armour/weathering?


Satin is a great all-rounder. Matte can grab faster; gloss wipes back cleaner.
