MoriyaSchism Posted Monday at 09:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:34 PM I'm trying to prime some miniatures using a can of Wraithbone, but I'm not satisfied with the results. I forgot the proper technique for priming in less than ideal conditions. Is there any way I can get a nice even coat by spraying indoors in such conditions? Right now the temperature is 12 to 15 °C with around 60% humidity.

Grotsmasha Posted Monday at 11:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:48 PM Warm the can in a bowl of warm water, and shake the ever living crap out of it, like 1-2mins, flipping the can top and bottom every 15-20secs or so. You may need to adjust the distance you spray from the model, recommended is 30cm (or arms length).

N1SB Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Oh man, all these years I've just been doing it wrong and putting the can under my armpit. Because you do this when it's cold, so you're holding a cold metal can to your core, and it smells like armpit. Warm water is such a better and more hygienic solution. That is such a pro-tip, thanks Brother Grostsmasha. And thanks Brother Moriya for the question to get that pro-tip.

Firedrake Cordova Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Duncan Rhodes did a video on varnishes, where he recommended doubling the "shaking time" on the can, and spraying on a piece of card first to make sure it was spraying right. I'd add that you may need to stop spraying and re-heat/shake the can more often than when it's warmer.

Axineton Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Also be careful indoors if it’s a small room. Don’t wanna asphyxiate yourself which I think is the most important tip.

MoriyaSchism Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Thanks for all the replies. Some helpful tips. 19 hours ago, Grotsmasha said: Warm the can in a bowl of warm water, and shake the ever living crap out of it, like 1-2mins, flipping the can top and bottom every 15-20secs or so. You may need to adjust the distance you spray from the model, recommended is 30cm (or arms length). I did that when I primed initially. I used the warmest water I could get from my boiler and put the can in the bowl for 15 minutes before shaking for 2 minutes. But I think I messed up the distance and burst duration. Not sure how to regulate the amount of spraying I do.

Grotsmasha Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago You'll want to do short, quick passes, starting to one side off the model, finishing off the other side of the model. Do multiple quick passes, left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top, rotating the model and repeating these motions. Once you've done one full pass, inspect the models crevaces for places you may have missed, and target those areas, using the appropriate motion.
