Jim, Bragdon weathering powders (and other brands) have an adhesive in them so they don’t require a clear overcoat to stay in place. In fact, the more they are handled, the better they stick, where chalks keep wearing off. A little of them goes a long way: I’ve had a kit for 15 years now and it’s less than 1/3rd gone. And I do a lot of rolling stock weathering. I like the subtle look they create. It does take a little practice.

I would be interested in a discussion of the Bragdon "chalks" versus regular powdered pastel chalks for weathering. Bragdon markets the product as a resin not a chalk... How do you feel about application and effect of one versus the other? I know Herb Tate, who did some stunning weathering, absolutely swears by the Bragdon products. But Herb seems to have fallen off the face of the earth in the last several months ... I have a Bragdon kit of assorted colors but so far have very limited use of them...
