I always wipe everything with ipa, if it's paint don't let it sit though
So Barry I am now handing the mantle hung around my neck given by the cheeky Dougie to you with\ said:Totally agree with Laurie.

Amazing what some will do for their kicks :eek::eek::eek::eek:\ said:I got home you couldn’t scratch it off with a finger nail
Yep I spra... No actually there are too many connotations that will get me banned. :oops::eek: :D :D\ said:Amazing what some will do for their kicks :eek::eek::eek::eek:
First Dave using primer this way is the cheapest way that you can get. Halfords primer\ said:I'm done with these expensive wastes of money, it's in the bin!
Take it back Dave. If you have problems with the retailer email Vallejo Customer care they run a great department.\ said:Airbrush sprays all other paints perfectly fine, this primer is just globules of rubbish. I've tried 10psi all the way to 30psi.
As I said, I put it through a HVLP primer mini gun, which sprays primer perfectly, and it still spat, lumped and wasted my time.
I bought it from the same place as I got the Airfix models from, so I reckon the seller has VERY old stock and doesn't store stuff right.
Such is life Dave.\ said:It's a devilbis airbrush, and a spar max 610 airbrush compressor.
Both are high quality and work perfect.
I always clean with airbrush cleaner, stripping and cleaning properly.
I only said about trying enamel thinners and acrylic thinners as I was trying to find out if something would fix the problem.
As I now have the correct Vallejo thinner it should work.
As I stated, my airbrush and compressor are fine, I've just tried some model air colour, and I can get a great wide spray pattern, all the way down to the tightest line ever.
I think this is dead now, as its proved the bottle of primer is junk.
I've emailed the seller stating that the primer is no good, and that despite him telling me his kits were new, he failed to tell me they were all OLD stock and therefore poor quality Airfix junk.
I doubt I'll get any refund or response, I've learned my lesson, I'll buy face to face from now on.
Me too.\ said:I use it all the time Dave I just spray it from the bottle no thinning at all with no problems
Is a shame the vallejo didn't work for you guys, stynelrez sounds good but I have enough primer at the moment!\ said:It's me the odd man out
I tried using the Vallejo primers and couldn't get a consistent result, I faffed around with thinners, flow improvers etc but its all time consuming and having to wait 24 hours to be able to sand down, not for me.
Stynlrez,,, pronounced Stein el rez :P Straight out of the bottle no messing around with 50% this and that, covers perfectly and dries in 15-20 minutes, able to sand after that time as well if required
Course there are a few draw backs, price is one thing, and colour choice another having only Black, White or Grey to choose from, though to be fair I always used Halfords Grey primer in the past.
Anyway, that's my 2p worth, it's worth a try though in my most humble opinion.

Do you find screenwash effective compared to normal ab cleaner? It has glycol and such in it. I've never tried but it's wayyyy cheaper than ab cleaner\ said:I can only speak for myself but never had any cleaning issues, I flush the cup with screen cleaner and a brush a few times, blow some through then use IPA to clean any remaining primer out. I don't remove the needle or tip and never had any issues.
As you say each has it's own advantages and disadvantages I guess
I'll take my Vallejo primers to SMW to fob off onto some one lol
