Citadel tabletop workflows evolve fast. Hobbyists chase faster, cleaner basing methods.
Never Apply Citadel Basing Paint the Same Way Again—Try This Hack! is thin coats over tape grids. This method saves time and cuts brush cleanup. Similar techniques include misting spray and modular tile tricks. Research shows consistent viscosity gives smoother finishes.
Why this approach boosts speed
Droplets bead less when surface tension is even. Light crosshatching grips better than heavy pools. Studies indicate thin layering reduces runs and speeds drying. Your hands stay cleaner, your shelves look sharper.
Try tape stripes for controlled edges
Mask tiles, swipe one thin pass, peel while wet. Repeat with minimal paint each layer. Modular pieces snap into place without rework. One line: tape grids turn slop into precision.

Does this work on plastic bases?
Yes, tape and thin paint grip plastic smoothly.

Can you use Citadel inks on tape?
Sure, inks flow into edges; seal after everything dries.
