I am not a stranger to the Vallejo brand of paints, having moved
to Vallejo as my primary paint almost two years ago. I was try-
ing to change from Floquil enamel to acrylic paint without a lot
of success. With Floquil, I was not comfortable with the toxic
vapors and the safety precautions that had to be taken.
