Howdy folks, I've watched a few videos on using Oil Washing miniatures and I think I'm ready to make the plunge, but I've noticed there are Water Mixable Oils out there and was wondering if anyone has used them and had any thoughts on them with water compared to regular oils and white spirits. Also do they store ok?
