Hi Mike Glad to hear it wasn't our product Could you do me a favour a change your original post for me? Would be much appreciated... And yes, definitely give ours a try, you certainly won't be disappointed All the best Lee

Hi Graeme We recommend you use our own cleaner - Ultimate Airbrush Cleaner - You can get some here - https://www.umpretail.com/collections/painting/products/ultimate-airbrush-thinner-cleaner-bundle All the best Lee

Hi It's easily applied with a brush. As it's self levelling you'll find you'll still get a nice smooth finish

Hi Mike Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. To be honest, there must've been something wrong with the plastic itself for this primer not to adhere to it as this is the primary function for a primer! I can only assume that there was mold release agent or similar contamination on the plastic. Again with the peeling, this will solely be down to not letting it cure for long enough. As our primer is a self levelling polyurethane primer, it needs time to cure sufficiently enough to fully allow sanding and other rough treatment. We recommend that it is allowed 24 hours to cure before sanding. All the best Lee
