Using Stynylrez brush on

[DevonMeep]

Hello everyone I've heard great things about badgers stynylrez primer. I've seen in several posts here people have been using it brush poo n without an air brush and had some questions for those who do. Ty in advance for your answers.

Do you thin it at all?

Should I go for full coverage like a spray primer or is it ok if grey plastic shows through?

Do you prefer it to other primer? 

Any general tips?

No thinning. At least as a brush-on, it covers as fully as any paint.

 

I prefer it to other primers because it flows better than other brush-on primers -- and it's less expensive since it comes in 2 oz. or larger bottles. You can also be lazy and paint from the cap. I've also used the primer as paint, though I paint to advanced tabletop.

 

Don't forget to own a brown primer. I find brown useful for wooden bits, and as an undercoat for dirty nasty monsters.

I've been using it undiluted brushed on to bones mooks and been pleased.  The primer plus an ink wash almost self-highlights over white plastic.

Also, if you're anything like me - Transfer it to a dropper bottle ASAP, lest you inadvertently discover via your elbows that you've primed half your workspace and you only have whatever's left in the bottle after you set it back upright.
