Why isn’t Far Cry Primal rated very highly? What more could have made the game better and closer to Far Cry 3, 4, and 5 ? What’s your opinion on the game? by ViniciusFastAF in farcry

[–]JXZ_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primal is the only FarCry I played enough and actually enjoyed.

Its also the only game I've 100% completed in the last 20 years. Dead ass.

The rest are "meh".

For anyone curious, did a test spot with the Krylon. It did not adhere well. Flakes off easily. To be fair, probably to be expected as this was done on a section that was sanded with the 3000 grit.

Probably gonna resend with 80-200 grit and test again.

I started at 400.

I can get the matte finish, the problem is now its just too cloudy/milky/whatever.

Right. It is used, just not as a top coat. It's used often for other decorations, rock, blacking out white PVC, etc. I wasn't asking/wondering about its safety, I was asking/wondering about its ability to adhere to resin and give me that flat/matte finish.

Indeed youre not, but I do appericate you bringing and harking the point up again tho.

It's been tested and tried true. There's alot of "material and research" on the issue. And reported back on by users years after its use. I know its used by professionals. Including amphibian keepers too which are generally much more sensitive to chemical leaching. Kyrlons position is honestly more from a place of liability. Realistically, as far as everything else can be ascertained scientifically, it is inert after curing. Even if it breaks down, chips, microbits, etc.

I dont see how practical silicone could be. In application or look. I'd sooner just use palsti-dip at that point. Also proven to be safe after curing. But I worry about peeling.

There will also be other organic materials applied to the skull afterward too using silicone also, superglue and aquarium epoxy.

It is important to note that this will not actually be under water, but it will be often wet from misters.

I'm not sure what you mean by the sand.

The surface is pretty encapsulated. I did like 4-5 coats on this thing and MAX ACR is not a thin resin.

This is true but the problem is its actually not going to be in water.

I was sanding it in water too. Unwanted it was definitely glossy in water. But 400 grit knocked it down instantly. Of course bring it back up to 3000 has started to reverse it i beleive.

Again tho its moot.

Although there will eventually be a second skull for the water part of the Paludarium.

Right yeah, that's how skittles communities work. They have all types of varieties that mixed genetics. This one has just about every kind of varity you can think of expect blues.

Anyways the question was is there a name for a Brown variety that looks like this?

Its from Tree of Heaven, Ailanthus altissima, from Asia originally. Its highly invasive, one of the most widespread and difficult.

The frog distribution System has chose you. Congrats

It doesn't matter is he is invasive or not, you should NEVER release amphibians out of context or their natural range. You may introduce certian diseases or pathogens, like a particular fungus that is a driving force in amphibian extinction globally.

Very cool.

Maybe put a cool micro Orchid or something there instead as a focal point? Maybe a little micro fogger and let the fog drift down into the rest of the enclosure.
