Bubbles? Bubbles?!?
« on: February 19, 2013, 10:55:25 PM »
Is it just because it's been so long since I've used a spray gun, or is it really odd to find bubbles in my paint?

Paint is the ever-classy Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer, thinned as recommended by Rustoleum by slopping in straight acetone.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I agree with Ty. Sand down what is on the ship, clean off the surface with degreaser then it you are spraying from your own gun thin out the primer 10 to 15% more then you did before. Check the pressure, to high or if you spray to close to the surface can cause problems. Do a test on a piece of aluminum foil (Windy trick). Also check the humidity should be below 70% for most air dry material. Let us know how you do.

Best,          DennisT

As soon as Ty said "gassing" I realized what happened.  It's too complicated to be worth anything other than letting you guys know why it's not important: I emptied a rattle-can and still didn't have enough paint on the plane, so finished up (hurriedly) with material from a spray gun.

Rattle-can paint comes out fizzy.  Gas.  Ah ha.
