Can anyone who has used both let me know the merits of each for use on cards.
I can find the Krylon readily, but the Testors is a real pain.... The Seadawg

What are you doing with it? Large or small Qty?
Testors to me is a bit more tacky.. but depends on application. |

Krylon 1311 should stand you in good stead for whatever you are going to use it for. I would not worry about comparisons between the two, it would probably prove to be a moot point.
JMHO Cheers!

AS for the response to what I am doing, I am going to be making a couple of the Decks that use the principle.
The big issue for me is availability. If they are both about the same for R/S then I guess it maybe the Krylon. Any horror stories other than applying too much? And does centre strip, horizontal or vertical make a difference? Thanks in advance...

I prefer the Testers. The Krylon is a tad to "rough" to me.

Krylon IS a bit rougher and the strip helps quite a bit with the eventual separation of the cards. If you have a choice and both products are equally available to you I would have to say that the Testor's is the better choice but, as Stanyon has already indicated, the overall difference is minimal. |

Testors works great. I agree with the twice over dusting as an application. This is what I do. I have never had trouble with the decks I have made using dulcote.
