Guys,
Am working on finishing a top color coat over the fuse/wing center planking joint. I got the fuse in place, added some epoxy/fiberglass flower filler then used Elmer's wood filler as smooth coat. This came out very smooth, I used some CA to seal the sanded the filler by applying and wiping off. This I sanded with 400 and thought I was ready for the black color coat. I seemed to have missed getting all the CA that got wiped onto the planking area sanded totally flat. The paint is Design Master acrylic lacquer and goes on very smooth (electric don't need fuel proof). Now for the bad news. Once the paint dried there were streaks down the center planking where the CA wipe was applied. It looks like where the CA wipe went over the planking it was not totally flat. I sanded the streak area flat with a block to get it totally flat. Then after wiping down, re-sprayed the DM black. It is very nice paint and goes on very nice. BUT, when it dried there were the streaks. OK, sanded it down again and re-coat, same result. On a test piece I wiped on CA just as I did the fillet, let it kick and set for a few hours then sprayed the DM black over it, no problem.
I called Design Master customer service, which is very good. They said they never ran across this issues but admitted they didn't work with modelers that much. We discussed an option of using a primer first then top coat. I have done some test pieces and it goes over the primer with no problems. I will try this on one panel on the bottom.
Having said that has anyone had this kind of experience with any type of paint going over CA sealed surface (I know Windy used CA to seal lots of small pieces before painting with no trouble)? If so how did you solve the issue.
Thanks, DennisT
