This an archive replica of a blog post What I need to know about chemical compatibility written by Jack Jella circa 2014, from the National Association of Scale Aeromodelers. It’s been referenced over on the Layman’s Gunpla Guide for many years and it appears that it has been pulled from the original site. I’m guessing it got left behind when they did a global site redesign. In order to preserve it better I’ve created this archive copy. For further reference here’s the original link, the Wayback Machine Archive, and the last Google search cache.

What happens when your local hobby shop is going out of business?
What happens when your local hobby shop is going out of business? You buy all the paint of course!
Of the main hobby shops in my area, the one with the best paint selection closed last year without me realizing. On Monday the next largest posted on Facebook that they were closing up shop at the end of the month. Seeing that the only other shops within an hour have very limited Tamiya supplies, and zero Model Master Acryl stock, I rushed in and bought what I could. I filled up an entire basket with paint before realizing I was going to make some poor sap go through and individually scan jar after jar after jar after jar. I left far too much paint behind but still ended up with receipts over 7 feet long.
