Thanks I have tried using the one shot primer before and not found it very good keeps clogging the airbrush and it doesn't seem to recommend a thinner to use on the product as it is meant to be used straight from the bottle without thinning. I personally find it to thick to spray I use a H&S airbrush with a 0.4 nozzle and needle at around 20psi but it clogs every time yet I know others that use it all the time without any problems so not sure what I am doing wrong.

You and me both.....it clogged my airbrush and I'm not impressed. Too thick to spray from bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dromia Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Evidently I have heard that it is re-bottled Stynylrez. If so then it should be sprayed as per their instructions large nozzle and 30 PSI. I use a .5 nozzle at 30 PSI and the Stynylrez sprays fine, just for fun I put it through my .18 Custom Micron and it again sprayed fine at the 30 P{SI mark. So I would suggest upping the pressure to get it to atomise better, see if that makes a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapouriser Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I also read that this was re badged Stynylrez - as is ultimate modelling product’s primer (which I tried spraying with a Badger 150 and heavy needle last night) tried at 15 20 and 25 psi and it was a disaster. Even tried thinning it, which made no difference at all. Sputtered and clogged - perhaps that extra 5 psi might have made the difference, but I just shook up my rattler can of Mr Surfacer Black and used that instead - Beautiful finish as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werdna Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I have thinned it with water, which works well enough, but the surface finish is so unpredictable that I tend not to use it much foranything. My 'go to' primer is usually Halfords grey plastic primer in a rattle can, which has been 100% reliable so far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
