Not Tres Somme though, are you trying to disrupt the tried and true technique?

My daughter took that and replaced it with the Suave.

Mines hidden in drawer under some spray cans so the two women in this house have no idea where mine is.

At least your daughter had the common courtesy to replace it! I had 3 cans of Aqua-Net disappear on me before I started hiding it…

So what’s the impressions of Tamiya’s chipping liquid from those that have tried it?

I’m no expert, but I liked using hairspray better.

Totally off topic but the hairspray reminds me of the Army Drill Seargent’s dowsing their smoky bear covers in hair spray and then blocking them until dry. They would apply multiple coats until they were satisfied it could stop bullets.

I’ve tried hairspray–didn’t feel like it gave enough control. Tried salt–chips were too uniform in size and shape, plus I was finding salt stuck to the model right up to the point it went on the shelf (there’s probably still some there). Personally, I think Uncle Nightshift’s technique for chipping is about as realistic-looking as you’re likely to get. Just my $0.02, acknowledging everyone has their preferred techniques that work for them.
