Mr Resin Surface Primter

[Pjclarke2008]

I picked up some Mr Resin Surface Primer from one of the Duxford Airshows the other month. No english instructions. So i am trying to find out, it is just basic primer?, or a filler as well?. Is it also any good is the question?.

Cheers

It's a very thin resin primer... to be used only on resin, as it would/may attack plastic. Personally, I think it's crap, and won't be buying another can, especially as it's pricey. It also doesn't have any filling properties that I'm aware of.

    hi all ,

 

               I bought a  bottle of Mr.Primer Surfacer some time ago and are actually gittin' around to usin' it on a Resin Kit.

 

          Wot annoys me about these Mr.HOBBY Products the Instructions are in a unusual Japanese Language

          and I can't find where to source an English Translatshun .

         I have just now tried the stuff thinned down with G.P. Thinner as it was NOT prethinned for sprayin' !

        and its dried OK, I might thin the Primmer with an Acrylic Thinner....easily sourced at MILSOMES up the road

 

                                                                                             cheery "modellin' " mumbas !

Geoff you will get all you need here.

 

Would not thin with Vallejo , Lifecolor primer etc. . use a lacquer type thinner preferably the Mr Surfacer thinner.

        hi LaurieS,

 

                              thanks for your informative Response

 

           I am roolly lucky here in Ferntree Gully Vic 3156 as  there is an Automotive Paint Supplier (MILSONS )

          up the road 'n' round the corner , they can advise me and can supply the Products in Bulk that I require for Modellin'

        and are a lot,lot cheaper than a Hobby Shop. 

 

         btw: I bought a 400gm Spray Can of  Clear Flat Acrylic the other week,  H B BODY  Spray Fill  (made in Greece )  and its great !

           ref: www.hbhobby.com

         I thought that it sprayed too thick 'n' fast from the Aerosol Can and really got stuck into wrinkling  the Johnson's Kleer.......g.g.m.s.!

        I now decant into my Paasche Airbrush Cup....... dries quickly and flat!,flat!, flat !

 

                                                                                          cheery "preXmas " mumbas !
