I've heard of it happening in a few cases and causing issues for both painters and collectors. And unless I'm mistaken, I believe forum member @MerekT can attest to that.How does paint chip away without some sort of catalyst. I’ve got this picture in my head of a standing figure as it kinda chips away into dust in the wind.. paint coming off on its own..
Heard of leather flaking? Could be due to climate conditions or any number of factors.
I'm only trying to avoid potential problems, unlike yourself who clearly likes to cause trouble..
