Primer for Resin


Kaspar

Recommended Posts

Can't recomend Vallejo grey spray primer enough, but always after a layer of purity seal http://1.1.1.1/bmi/image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif

 

++EDIT: Whoops, forgot to add ''enough'' so it souned like I hated Vallejo http://1.1.1.1/bmi/image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.png++

Realy, first a layer of purity seal and then Vallejo grey primer???

Undercoat is always dependant on what colour you're looking to go to. Grey is a safe bet, but for real dark colours I go with a Chaos Black.

 

However, all ForgeWorld is sprayed with Purity Seal first, and I've not had any issues with paint flaking off since.

Yeah I always give FW pieces a good soapy scrub then a varnish to seal off any residue release agent and finally grey primer.

 

I had some issues with a Mk. III heavy support squad where the mold release just wouldn't come off and my paint would flake in big chunks, even with primer. So after that I always use purity seal before priming just to be on the safe side and I haven't had any issues since.

Forgeworlds download section has a "working with resin" guide and GW has also made a video where they show the steps to assembling a Spartan.

All the basic info you need should be found within happy.png

I would like but...mobile.

Thanks for your replies so far.

 

To clean the resin you use only soap or chemicals???

You're welcome, for the wash I just use warm (but not scolding) water with dishwashing liquid and a old toothbrush for scrubbing, then I rinse in clean cold water.

 

The video from GW themselves are actually pretty good, so I would give that a looksie if i'ts the first time you're working with FW resin.

Is the Vallejo polyurethane primers, which you spray through an airbrush any good?

 

I just got an airbrush as a gift and have no ideas about what is good or not. I am getting a cleaning kit for it, but wondered if the Vallejo primer would be a good buy. I am also considering getting the spray matte varnish too, would that be good for sealing up FW resin.

 

I have built a few FW things and washed them, but assumed the paint flake/chip was me overhandling them. :)
