Weathering Mix Instructions:
‘Weathering Mix’ stain is alcohol based. The benefits of using alcohol are fast drying time which helps prevent ‘warping’ of the wood and it’s easy to dilute the mix to get varying degrees of a lighter stain - just purchase a bottle of 70% isopropyl alcohol at the drug store.
Creosote Black: One of our most popular colors used where you would like to add 'grime', 'soot', shadows or an 'oily, greasy' look to your project. For example, along the Tie structure where the rail is located, under the eaves of a roof or the top of a through bridge where the soot from the steam engine would collect. We use it to color our bridge Ties in combination with Light Gray and Tie Brown. It can also be used as a 'wash' over NBW castings - it hi-lites the bolt and washer. It works well on plastic structures - when used as a 'wash' and applied on a shingled roof held upside down, each shingle will be hi-lited. When dry brushed on rail cars, rivets will be hi-lited and you can achieve a very effective 'well used' weathered car. The possibilities are endless!
Application:
We always distress the wood prior to application. Wear protective gloves when handling. Just use any ‘cheap’ brush to apply. Shake the bottle vigorously before using or if you want a lighter color, only shake a little. If using one of the mixes containing pigment, you may need to shake vigorously or stir to thoroughly mix the pigment and alcohol, as the pigment has a tendency to ‘settle’. Use straight from the bottle. We don’t wipe the stain off, unless using our ‘Cottage White’. You may want to wipe this stain off, depending on the effect desired. We really try to apply haphazardly to get varying degrees of color.
Will it work on other material?
You can get a good effect on plastic, paper, cardboard, and hydrocal.
Clean Up - just wash brushes in soap and water
Have fun mixing colors or applying in ‘combinations’. The following instructions will explain how to get an old Barnboard look. You can also use this method to get a ‘peeling’ paint look with different color applications. For example, Barnboard Red weathering - use Light Gray base with Barn Red dry brushing. (see sample images)
Barnboard Gray Weathering Instructions
When doing our research on how to achieve that ‘old weathered’ barnboard gray ‘look’, we noticed that we could see varying degrees of gray and brown colors. Where the wood had ‘rotted’, where there were ‘knots’, or where there was ‘bare wood’, the color was brown.
To achieve this ‘look’, we follow a 3 step application method (It’s not a matter of ‘mixing’ the colors).
What you will need:
3 bottles of our Weathering Mix - Light Gray, Medium Brown, Blue Gray, Any coarse paint brush - size appropriate to the project
Three step application method:
Begin by ‘distressing’ the wood. Use whatever method you are accustomed to. We always use a fine toothed razor saw.
1. Apply one coat of the Light Gray Weathering Mix with your paint brush. No need to ‘wipe’ the color off. It’s great to have varying
degrees of color!
2. Apply the Blue Gray Weathering Mix sporadically on the project using a ‘dry brush’ method. Before applying the color with your brush, dab excess mix on a paper towel. You don’t want the brush too wet. Having your brush a little drier, gives the project a more ‘blended’ look. Remember, you want to see varying colors of gray.
3. Apply the Medium Brown Weathering Mix, following the method in Step 2. Remember, you want to see brown in the areas where there may have been ‘rot’, ‘knots’ or ‘bare’ wood exposed.

Thanks Tim ,They will look great on your layout. If you decide to use those sticks from Walmart one stick turns into 2 ties And you have to cut a little off on the 2nd cut. When we get our quarterly or 10% use the coupon code Engineer Hall at Yankeedabbler .
[thank, you for youre helpful video]👍
Thanks for posting. I enjoyed yer video. Now I've got to go to Wally World and get some of those wooden sticks. They kinda look like match sticks. I usually save all our used kitchen matches and cut them up with my Chop It machine. They're about HO scale tie size. Thanks for the weathering tips. Merry Christmas.
You did a outstanding job on this cool wooden tie load and Happy Holidays

New subscriber, well done! I like how you mixed an assortment of colors, went for uneven stacks vs neat bundles and showed staging options on the layout. We will definitely try this.

Great job👍, they look natural. I've been buying a pack or two every week for my kooper's Tie plant that ill be modeling, they manufacture the ties for the RR. Unfortunately I'm going to need somewhere around three to four thousand of these, plus more for the gondolas. I did note, you Staind the full length and then cut them, which is fine. But it leaves the ends White/ clear. Cutting them before you stain would be best. Just an FYI.

Thank you for checking out my video. I re stained the ends of the Creosote ties Doing the making of the video. I went back and stained the ends of the outher ties When I was making the utility Pole load.
Excellent. Just what I have been looking for to weather ties. Thank you. Where in their website is it please?
Here's a good one a while back some one made drywall load for an n scale 3 axle truck. I think they used blocks of wood and painted the block and to look like drywall units. Is that right?? Good work.
nice video

Hey Engineer Hall You just got another Subscriber! The ties came out Great! now I will have to make me some ties for my gons. Love the load thats about 2 ties high that have broken pieces of ties on the top layer. what do you think about making a homemade concoction of India Ink and Alcohol? I wonder if you couldnt try to tint the India Ink wash with Grey, brown, tan and white acrylic paint to get a variance?
@engineerhall5887

Anything's possible. Just have to find the right combination to get it were you like it it through trial-and-error. With the mix you are able to mix them up to come up with a different color but I haven't tried that yet
Great video on the ties. One question about the gon. You used india ink and isopropyl alcohol for weathering, what amount of ink to alcohol did you use? Thanks.
@engineerhall5887
4 жыл бұрын
I use 2 teaspoon of ink and about 16 oz. Of alcohol . That the base start . Add moor ink if you want it to be darker effect when it dries.
I would love to see what happens if you use brown, then when that dries dip it into the creosote black color.
