Pirelli calendar celebrates 50 years: Miranda Kerr, Helena Christensen and Alessandra Ambrosio star in anniversary photo shoot
- Shot by renowned fashion photographers Patrick Demarchelier and Peter Lindbergh
- Features Alessandra Ambrosio, Helena Christensen, Karolina Kurkova, Alek Wek, Miranda Kerr and Isabeli Fontana
- Simple studio shoot sees supermodels dressed down in shirts and jumpers
- Move away from more provocative images featuring nude women
- Youngest model used is Karolina Kurkova, 29, Helena Christensen is the oldest at 44
The annual Pirelli calendar brings together the world's most beautiful women and the fashion industry's most celebrated photographers and stylists in a celebration of the female body.
This week Pirelli released images from its hotly anticipated 50th anniversary photoshoot featuring a stellar line-up of supermodels perfectly under-dressed and shot by renowned fashion photographers Patrick Demarchelier and Peter Lindbergh.
Over the years its calendars have been designed to raise eyebrows with their provocative imagery featuring very little clothing and OTT hair and make-up design, but for the 2014 shoot the Italian tyre manufacturer has let the talent do the talking by presenting a simple studio shoot feature megastars Alessandra Ambrosio, Helena Christensen, Karolina Kurkova, Alek Wek, Miranda Kerr and Isabeli Fontana dressed in over-sized shirts and jumpers.
The 50th anniversary Pirelli calendar features (l-r) Alessandra Ambrosio, Helena Christensen, Karolina Kurkova, Alek Wek, Miranda Kerr and Isabeli Fontana
Peter Lindbergh took this image of the women wearing masculine roll-neck jumpers
The subtle sexiness of the shots is a far cry from previous years calendars which often featured artistic nudity
Launched in 1964, the calendars, released by Pirelli to a notoriously limited group of exclusive VIP customers, have featured nearly every top model of the past decades.
In keeping with tradition, this year's offerings are incredibly flattering, which isn't difficult when the photographers are able to cherry pick the most beautiful women in the world as the subjects.
In one shot Victoria's Angels Alessandra, 32, and Miranda, 30, pose next to Alek, 36, Karolina, 29, Isabelli, 30 and Helena, 44 in men's white shirts and simple briefs.
In another the women ramp up the sex appeal and show off six pairs of endless legs in black basques and corset tops.
The shots capture the retro feel of Peter Lindbergh's iconic 90s photographs of the original supermodels, including Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell that so captured the time.
The long legs of the models, and a flash or two of torso is all the flesh that is exposed this year, but the shots are still provocative and sexy
The pared down styling of the pictures only serves to emphasize the beauty of the supermodels, who range in age from 30 to 44
A behind the scenes shot shows the girls being prepared for the shoot in New York
While the results of the 2014 celebratory shoot are undeniably sexy, the more discreet feel represents a move away from the more blatant nudity for which the calendar had become famous.
A famous shot from the 1984 edition featured four models lying on their stomachs in the ocean, totally naked, with a tyre track in sand across each of their bottoms.
Many shots have also shown the models or celebrities baring their breasts or posing provocatively .
In the world of Pirelli calenders the photographer is almost as important as the top models that star in them.
'Pirelli is not a job, really. You do what you want. It's very liberating,' Patrick Demarchelier told The Sunday Times Style magazine.
His co-creative on the job photographer Peter Lindbergh said: 'About 25 companies have asked me to do a calendar like Pirelli. They want chocolate or machines in the picture. What do I tell them? In English? Why don't you f*** off and ask somebody else?'
- The full 50th anniversary photoshoot will be revealed in Milan on November 21

I've found that with many natural dish soaps I am constantly adding more soap to the sponge in order to get my dishes clean. This dish soap does a very good job of remaining soapy for longer than most of the other natural dish soaps I have used. However, this is not one of those dish soaps that claim you only need 1 drop to clean a sink full of dishes. I am pretty sensitive to perfumes and this dish soap doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I think it has an incredible semll. The "sweet tea" scent is my favorite but the "grapefruit sage" is also quite delightful. I highly recommend giving this detergent a try!

So we can look forward to the "year of Linux on the Tablet" just after the "year of Linux on the Desktop"?
They modified Linus? What did they do to him? I bet he's pretty angry about that!
Don't worry, it wasn't the real Linus, they forked him first.

OPen Forum: U.S. tax ranking is low
An important principle for this nation's founders was "no taxes without representation." It is now clear that we also oppose taxes with representation. We justify this notion by the feeling, pushed by conservatives, that we are 'overtaxed'. A review of world tax rates shows that U.S. tax revenues, as a percent of GDP, are the lowest among developed nations.

An article having a surface comprising an olefin polymer is marked with indicia using an ink comprising a binder capable of substantially complete cure at a temperature of about 100° to 300° C. for less than about 10 minutes and then heated to cure the binder. The indicia are permanent, e.g. are resistant to being rubbed off and are solvent resistant. Heat-recoverable marker sleeves having such permanent indicia are particularly useful for marking wires, e.g. in aircraft harnessing.
1. A heat recoverable marker sleeve comprising:
(a) a heat recoverable article having a surface comprising an olefin polymer and
(b) permanent indicia on said surface of said article formed of a substantially completed cured ink composition comprising:
(i) a binder capable of adhering to said surface and capable of substantially complete cure when heated to about 100° to about 300° C. in less than about 10 minutes; and
(ii) a pigment.
2. An article in accordance with claim 1, wherein said article comprises a tubular article comprising polyethylene.
3. An article in accordance with claim 1, wherein said binder is selected form the group consisting of polybutadiene, polyaziridine, and a polyacrylate.
4. An article in accordance with claim 3, wherein said binder is polybutadiene.
5. An article in accordance with claim 1, wherein the ink further comprises a diluent.
6. An article in accordance with claim 5, wherein the diluent is dioctyl phthalate.
7. An article in accordance with claim 1, wherein said pigment is selected form the group consisting of titanium dioxide, cadmium sulfide, carbon black, zinc oxide, CI Pigment Yellow 36, CI Pigment Yellow 37, CI Pigment Yellow 55, CI Pigment Red 48, CI Pigment 49, CI Pigment Blue 1, CI Pigment Blue 2, CI Pigment Blue 15, CI Pigment Blue 19, CI Pigment Violet 3, and metal particles.
8. An article in accordance with claim 1, wherein surface is other than white.
9. An article in accordance with claim 8, wherein the pigment is titanium dioxide.
10. An article in accordance with claim 8, wherein the pigment is a mixture of titanium dioxide and aluminum paste.
11. An article in accordance with claim 8, wherein said surface is black and said ink contains a pigment mixture comprising titanium dioxide and aluminum paste.
12. A method of forming permanent indicia on a heat recoverable marker sleeve which comprises:
(a) selecting a heat recoverable article having a surface comprising an olefin polymer;
(b) forming indicia on the surface thereof with an ink comprising:
(i) a binder capable of adhering to said surface and capable of substantially complete cure when heated to about 100° to about 300° C. in less than about 10 minutes; and
(ii) a pigment; and
(c) heating the article to substantially completely cure said binder, thereby rendering said indicia permanent.
13. A method in accordance with claim 12, wherein said article comprises a heat recoverable tubular article and said article is at least partially prevented from recovery during step (c).
14. A method in accordance with claim 12, which further comprises the additional step of causing said article to recover by applying heat thereto.
15. A method in accordance with claim 12, wherein the indicia are formed on the surface by means of an impact printer and the ink is in the form of a fabric ribbon backing impregnated with the ink.
This invention relates to an article with a surface comprising an olefin polymer having permanent indicia thereon and to a method of producing permanent indicia on a polyolefin surface.
Substrates such as wires, cables, equipment housing and the like are sometimes labeled with marker assemblies comprising a polymeric article marked with indicia, such as letters or numbers or combinations thereof. To identify individual wires of a harness the marker assembly may comprise a sleeve, preferably heat recoverable, of a polymeric material such as a polyolefin. Such sleeves are provided in a variety of colors, including black, for color coding the wires. Relatively flat polymeric articles may be used for similarly marking large diameter cables and electrical equipment. The indicia are generally typed onto the article using typewriting or similar printing equipment. Generally the ink used is black. For many uses, the indicia need to be permanent (i.e. durable), e.g. resistant to being rubbed off and resistant to solvents which may contact the wire, as discussed more fully below. This latter requirement is generally specified for aircraft wiring, which may come into contact with hydraulic fluid, liquid fuel, de-icing solvents or the like. Black ink is generally rendered permanent by a heat treatment. This heat treatment, referred to as permatization, may take place by placing the sleeve in an oven or subjecting it to infrared radiation or in the case of heat recoverable sleeves, by the heat applied during the heat-recovery step. Obtaining a visible permanent mark on black articles has necessitated use of a relatively expensive "hot-stamping" technique. Use of conventional white ink formulations have not produced a mark of the desired permanence.
We have now discovered that permanent indicia can be obtained on a polyolefin article by use of the appropriate ink, as defined hereinafter. The permanent indicia may be white for the desired contrast on black or other dark colored surfaces or any other desired color for use on a contrasting color substrate.
One aspect of this invention comprises an article for application to a substrate comprising:
(a) an article having a surface comprising an olefin polymer and
(b) permanent indicia on said surface of said article formed of an ink comprising:
(i) a binder capable of adhering to said surface and capable of substantially complete cure when heated to about 100° C. to about 300° C. in less than about 10 minutes; and
(ii) a pigment.
Another aspect of this invention comprises a method of forming a durable mark on a polymer article which comprises:
(a) selecting an article having a surface comprising an olefin polymer;
(b) forming indicia on the surface thereof with an ink comprising:
(i) a binder capable of adhering to said surface and capable of substantially complete cure when heated to about 100° to about 300° C. in less than about 10 minutes; and
(ii) a pigment; and
(c) heating the article to cure said binder, thereby rendering said indicia permanent.
FIG. 1a illustrates an article of this invention suitable for use as a cable marker.
FIG. 1b illustrates use of the article wrapped around an electric cable.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of partially recovered heat recoverable tubular articles of this invention having permanent indicia thereon and mounted on a bandolier.
The article marked in according with this invention has a surface comprising an olefin polymer. Preferably the entire article is made from acomposition comprising an olefin polymer, but a composite article in which a surface layer only comprises an olefin polymer may be employed.
The terms "olefin polymer" and "polyolefin" are used herein to refer to homo and copolymers of olefins, for example, polyethylene, e.g. lower highdensity polyethylene or linear low density polyethylene, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene/methyl acrylate copolymers, and the like. Blends containing one or more of these polymers together with other polymers, e.g. ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers, can also be used.
The olefin polymer composition from which the sleeve is prepared may contain various additives, for example, flame retardants such as decabromodiphenyl ether, perchloropentacyclodecane, silicone resins, 1,2-bis (tetrabromophthalimido) ethylene, etc.; antioxidants such as alkylated phenols, e.g. those commercially available as Goodrite 3125, Irganox 1010, Irganox 1035, Irganox 1076, Irganox 1093, Vulkanox BKF, organic phosphite or phosphates, e.g. dilauryl phosphite, Mark 1178, alkylidene polyphenols, e.g. Ethanox 330, thio-bis alkylated phenol, e.g. Santonox R, dilauryl thio-dipropionate, e.g. Carstob DLTDP, dimyristyl thiodipropionate, e.g. Carstab DMTDP, distearyl thiodipropionate, e.g. Cyanox STDP, amines, e.g. Wingstay 29, etc.; inorganic fillers, such as clay, silica, etc.; pigments such as carbon black, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxide, etc., processing aids, and the like. Certain additives may improve durability or permanence of the mark while others may be detrimental, depending on the particular binder of the ink and olefin polymer of the surface. As mentioned above, the invention is particularly suitable for printing on black surfaces, which contain for example carbon black as a pigment. It is, however, possible to utilize this invention to print on surfaces of any color.
The ink utilized in accordance with this invention comprises a binder, a pigment and optionally a diluent. The binder comprises a non-volatile polymerizable monomeric or an oligomeric or a polymeric material. The binder should be capable of substantially complete cure, e.g. polymerization and/or crosslinking when heated to a temperature in the range of about 100° to about 300° C. preferably about 200° to about 300° C. in less than about 10 minutes preferably less than about 3 minutes.
Preferred binders include for example polybutadiene, polyaziridine, polyacrylate or the like.
The ink may contain a diluent, for example semi-drying or non-drying oils such as mineral oil, castor oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, oleic acid, ricinoleic acid, and the like, fatty esters derived therefrom, such as methyl vicinoleate, etc. The diluent can be present in an amount of about 0 to about 50% by weight based on the weight of the ink formulation, preferably about 10 to about 30 and most preferably about 15 to about 20% by weight.
The ink also contains any pigment or mixtures of pigments to obtain an ink of the desired color. Such pigments include for example titanium dioxide, cadmium sulfide, carbon black, zinc oxide, CI Pigment Yellow 36, CI Pigment Yellow 37, CI Pigment Yellow 55, CI Pigment Red 48, CI Pigment 49,CI Pigment Blue 1, CI Pigment Blue 2, CI Pigment Blue 15, CI Pigment Blue 19, CI Pigment Violet 3, metal particles such as aluminum, silver, bronze,gold, or the like. It is to be understood that the pigment selected dependsto a certain extent on the color of the marker sleeve and should be selected to provide adequate contrast and hiding power. For example, the use of white ink on a white substrate is generally unsuitable.
A curing agent, such as benzoyl peroxide and the like may be incorporated in the ink formulation. This provides more rapid curing and/or curing at lower temperatures, if desired. Other additives such as antioxidants, UV stabilizers and the like may also be included.
The ink should have a viscosity of about 500 to about 5000 centipoise, preferably of about 800 to about 3000 centipoise.
In accordance with this invention, the ink formulation is applied to an article having an olefin polymer surface. Two typical articles are illustrated in FIGS. 1a, 1b and 2. In FIG. 1a, a polyolefin strip 1 is provided with hot melt adhesive 2 and pressure sensitive adhesive 3 on thesurface thereof. The ink is applied on the opposite surface of the strip sothat, as shown in FIG. 1b, when it is wrapped around cable 4, the indicia formed of the ink are visible and the adhesive secures the article to the cable. Such an article and its use is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,465,717 to Crafts et al., the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
In FIG. 2, heat recoverable sleeves 12 have been partially heat recovered into projections 11 which extend from carrier 10. The carrier 10 is provided with perforations 14 for facilitating feeding the sleeves througha printer. Such an assembly is more fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,894,731 to Evans, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. Other assemblies of heat recoverable marker sleeves suitable for use in this invention are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,349,404 to Changani et al., and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 63,192 filed June 17, 1987.
Heat-recoverable articles are articles, the dimensional configuration of which may be made substantially to change when subjected to heat treatment. Usually these articles recover, on heating, towards an originalshape from which they have previously been deformed but the term "heat-recoverable", as used herein, also includes an article which, on heating, adopts a new configuration, even if it has not been previously deformed.
In their most common form, such articles comprise a heat-shrinkable sleeve made from a polymeric material exhibiting the property of elastic or plastic memory as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,027,962; 3,086,242 and 3,597,372. As is made clear in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,027,962, the original dimensionally heat-stable form may be a transient form in a continuous process in which, for example, an extruded tube is expanded, whilst hot, to a dimensionally heat-unstable form but, in other applications, a preformed dimensionally heat stable article is deformed toa dimensionally heat unstable form in a separate stage.
In the production of heat recoverable articles, the polymeric material may be cross-linked at any stage in the production of the article that will enhance the desired dimensional recoverability. One manner of producing a heat-recoverable article comprises shaping the polymeric material into thedesired heat-stable form, subsequently cross-linking the polymeric material, heating the article to a temperature above the crystalline pointor, for amorphous materials the softening point, as the case may be, of thepolymer, deforming the article and cooling the article whilst in the deformed state so that the deformed state of the article is heat-unstable,application of heat will cause the article to assume its original heat-stable shape.
The crosslinking can be effected by chemical means, e.g. with peroxides, orby irradiation or a combination of the two. Radiation employed can be of various types including charged particles e.g. alpha particles or high energy electrons and electromagnetic radiation e.g. gamma or ultraviolet radiation.
Radiation doses of any desired amount can be used although, generally a dosage of from 1 to 50, preferably 2 to 20 Mrads will be sufficient.
The ink formulation is applied to the article to be marked in any appropriate manner. The olefin polymer surface of the article may be pretreated to improve the adherence of the ink, e.g. by flame or plasma treatment. The printer is preferably an impact printer e.g. a thermal printer, dot-matrix printer, daisy wheel printer or golfball printer, and may be attached to any appropriate computer or word-processor. The ink is conveniently in the form of a ribbon, e.g. coated onto a fabric ribbon backing and supplied as a cartridge to be inserted in an impact printer. The fabric backing is preferably of silk, cotton, nylon, polyester, or thelike.
The mark may be permatized by heating the sleeve to obtain substantially complete cure of the ink. This step may be achieved by placing the sleeve in an oven. If the article is heat recoverable, it should be restrained from complete recovery during permatization. Alternatively the steps of heat recovering the sleeve and permatizing the mark can be simultaneously.In this case, care should be employed in positioning the sleeve over the substrate to avoid smearing the unpermatizied mark. Applying a coating, for example as a spray, of an acrylic resin may further inhibit smearing of the unpermatized mark.
After permatization, the mark is durable or permanent, i.e. resistant to abrasion and organic solvents. The degree of permanence varies depending on the particular application. For use in wire and harnessing for militaryuse, resistance to organic solvents and abrasion is of paramount importance. In this regard, it is necessary for the marked article to meetthe requirements of Military Specification MIL-M-81531 and Military Standard MIL-STD-202, both of which are incorporated by reference herein. With respect to abrasion, Military Specification MIL-M-81531 requires thatthe markings or indicia be readable after being rubbed with an eraser 20 times.
With respect to resistance to organic solvents, Military Standard MIL-STD-202 requires that the marks or indicia be readable after being immersed in a variety of organic solvents and then brushed with a toothbrush. These organic solvents include: mixtures of isopropyl alcohol and mineral spirits; an azeotrope mixture of trichlorotrifluoroethane (FREON® TF, a registered trademark of E. I. DuPont de Nemours) and methylene chloride; 1,1,1--trichloroethane; and an aqueous solution of butyl cellusolve and monoethanolamine.
In addition to meeting the requirements of Military Standard MIL-STD-202, it is preferred that the markings or indicia be resistant to removal during prolonged immersion in the following organic solvents: JP-4 fuel (kerosene), Skydrol™ (a phosphate ester hydraulic fluid available from Monsanto Company), hydraulic fluid (petroleum based), aviation gasoline, lubricating oil (ester based) and anti-icing fluid (an aqueous mixture of glycols). These organic solvents are further specified in the Raychem Corporation Specification RT-1800/2, which is incorporated by reference herein.
It is also preferred that the marked article according to the invention is resistant to dichloromethane which is representative of the class of halogenated solvents which include 1,1,1--trichloroethane and FREON mixtures.
It is, of course, anticipated that the marked article according to the invention will be resistant to many other organic solvents as well as manyinorganic solvents.
It should be understood, then, that whenever throughout this specification the markings or indicia are stated to be permanent or durable they are resistant to organic solvents, smearing and abrasion, such resistance to organic solvents, smearing and abrasion shall be defined as indicated above.
An ink formulation was prepared by mixing in an agitated bead mill, 50 grams liquid polybutadiene (Ricon 156 commercially available from ColoradoChemical Specialty Inc., of Golden, Colo.), 17 grams dioctyl phthalate, 26 grams titanium dioxide and 70 grams aluminum paste. The ink was applied toa fabric ribbon suitable for use in a typewriter and indicia were typed onto partially recovered marker sleeves supported on a bandolier as shown in FIG. 2 and described above. The marker sleeves were made from a composition containing polyethylene, flame retardants, antioxidants and carbon black pigment. The marker sleeve was then heated in an infra-red oven.
The permanence of the indicia formed by the ink was tested using MIL 81531 and MIL-STD-202. All samples passed the test for each solvent.

Unlock With WiFi
For a full explanation of why SkipLock was created, see this blog post: http://benhirashima.com/posts/the-rebirth-of-unlock-with-wifi/
This app is NOT the unlock key for SkipLock. Do not buy this app if you want to use SkipLock.
Tired of entering your password every time you turn on your phone? Unlock With WiFi™ unlocks your phone when you're connected to your home WiFi network. When you're at home, or work, you don't need to worry about losing your phone, so why should you have to enter your password?
Unlock With WiFi is the leading password convenience app on the market. It's focus is on reliability, quality, and a great user experience. The setup wizard makes it easy to setup, and helpful dialogs are displayed if something isn't quite right.
How it works:
When you get home and connect to your WiFi network, your device will unlock. Then when you leave, and the WiFi disconnects, the device will lock again. You have to enter your password the first time after you connect to your WiFi network. This is so that if someone steals or finds your phone, they can't just bring it to your house to unlock it. After you enter your password once while connected to your WiFi network, you won't have to enter it again until you leave/disconnect. This is great for SMS texting!
Additional Features:
You can also set a lock delay, for when you're not at home. The default delay is set to 5 seconds (you can adjust it), so when you turn the screen off, the device won't lock until 5 seconds have passed. That way, if you remember something you forgot to do, you can turn it back on without entering your password. This feature is considered experimental at this time. It works on most devices, but isn't guaranteed to work on all devices.
There are also battery saving options to:
Turn off WiFi when you leave home
Turn on Bluetooth when you leave home
Turn off Bluetooth when you get home
Turn off Auto Sync when you leave home
Turn on Auto Sync when you get home
WidgetLocker integration

Stretch Mark Advice
Don't Sweat Stretch Marks — Seriously
That's right, I want stretch marks on the beach, not covered up with makeup at the mall, and playing outside in the park on weekends. They're a sign that you've physically grown as a person, that you've matured into a woman, and sometimes that you've created life.
Plus, guys usually don't mind theirs. I see men with large stretch marks out shirtless all the time, and to tell the truth, though they're noticeable, they're also completely normal — even pretty cool looking. Also, remember: Anyone who says something derogatory about the stretch marks they see on another person is nothing but a hypocrite, because they probably have some themselves. I'm not suggesting you stop taking care of your skin and moisturizing to keep it looking nice, but I do think women are being encouraged to worry about something that's absolutely fine.

This place isn't a youth hostel like I was expecting. It's full of smelly old men who are really creepy and rude. Absolutely no hostel environment.

Ali's Guest HouseGoreme, Turkey
Fantastic hostel! They did a free pickup from the bus station, and let me check in at 5am!!! That was really fantastic as I wasn't able to get much sleep on the bus. Plus with Ali's you get the genuine sleeping in a cave Cappadocia experience. I also fell off a cliff and had to rest a few extra days, and the hostel owners were super accommodating. I can't recommend this place any more highly! Also fantastic value.
Ani Motel & HostelKas, Turkey
Good value. There was a really helpful American concierge who helped us out a lot. The dorm is a little bit musty.
Bahaus HostelIstanbul, Turkey
Comfy matresses. The place was pretty good overall. My biggest complaint was that the beer was super overpriced and they don't let you being outside drinks.
Alobar1000Kathmandu, Nepal
Nice atmosphere and a good place to meet other travelers. However, the staff are the rudest I've ever met at any hostel I've ever stayed at. Plus if you order food it takes about 2 hours to arrive. They also charge extra for everything, so even though it seems like you'd be saving money by staying in the dorm it works out in the end to about the same as a single elsewhere. Also very dirty. I don't recommend.

Capsule Inn KinshichouTokyo, Japan
This place is very much in need of some TLC. The staff weren't very nice, and about half the bathrooms were out of order and the ones that weren't were very dirty. There was mold in the capsule and in the bathroom and the whole place had a very bad smell.

Hi, I need help!!! Can't anyone tell me with what can I prime a soft plastic jacket so that I can paint without the paint flaking after its dried ? I read about the Krylon and Plastikote but they are sprays, is there a brush on plastic primer that will work and not make the pant flake or be tacky after painting is dry????
Rider - Sunday, February 22, 2015
You could use plastic film around the head of the figure to protect it, and then sculpt the helmet around it. Once it dries, you can remove it and it will have the right shape.

Use that gloss seal on metal details bud. Or pretty much anything metallic. Keep in mind it takes longer to wet too than matte finish.
Toycooker - Thursday, January 22, 2015
For those of you asking about jackets or your figure becoming tacky after applying paint. the best solution is actually a "prelution". The tackiness occurs when the figure, cape, or what have you wasn't primed properly. The primer and fresh coat of paint will not end up tacky. Also, a light coat of Testors Dullcote will help in this as well, but let it set a day before handling. Dullcote will also cut that glossy sheen, shiny is not good unless we are talking metallic or leather details.
