Grim Dog Studios Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi all! I've just gotten around to spraying my ultramarines after having them primed black for a few days. I decided to go the easy route and spray them with the macragge blue spray. As usual before I use a spray can, I let it warm up in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes before shaking and using it. All was well to begin with, I blasted through a dreadnought, 5 terminators and a tactical squad. I then started the second tactical squad, and 2 marines in the spray went really weird. The only way I can describe it that the minis look like they have had a blue wash applied over the black primer when I spray them, it looks really watered down and isn't providing very good coverage. Has this happened to anybody before and what does it mean? I don't think the can is empty as it still has quite a lot of weight to it, and I have only sprayed the models above with it and surely they cant take up a whole can themselves?

Captain Semper Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Are you sure you're not running out? Sometimes when the spray is in it's last throes it gets a bit like that...

Grim Dog Studios Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 If that is so, then that is a shame. It didn't last very long! I guess the best bet is to likely order another can it may seem.

Captain Semper Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yes, well, it's just a guess from my end... Maybe you want to leave it for a while in room temperature and give it another go? Sometimes the propellant is re-invigorated for a few more shots. Having said that, if you only sprayed a Dread, a Termie squad and a Tactical squad, it does seem very little for the spray to have run out...

Seahawk Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Never had this issue with the two cans I've used. Have you remembered to shake the can during use? Gotta keep it mixed, especially during prolonged use.

Grim Dog Studios Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I went ahead and ordered a second can as I will be needing one for future use anyway, but I shall give the first can another whirl later on with some old bits of sprue. I appreciate the replies and I will let you know how it goes!

OrangeBob Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I have had this problem on very rare occasions and try as I might, I cannot get the primer can to work again. This includes swapping out the spray nozzle, cleaning out the nozzle with a safety pin and other attempts to save the primer. My gut feeling is that something somehow gets clogged in the tubing within the can. Good luck!
