Kengar Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 Simple green? The basic cleaning agent? What method is applied to cleen the dusty mini? I usually just soak the mini in a 50-50 solution of Pine-Sol and water overnight. Then I scrub the mini with an old toothbrush. If there are a lot of small crevices, you can use a pin to flick the bits of paint out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durak Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Bleh, I knew better to post on this topic especially when working on my diorama. Lousy humidity, oh well two figures back to square one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwyksilver Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I've just been using Rust-OLeum Painter's Touch Primer from my local Home Depot. It's sandable, so on the few occasions when it gets too rough, and little rubbing with some fine grit makes it better. I think have needed to do this once, and only because I primed on a breezy day. It works fine for my purposes, however I am not nearly the calibre of a lot of folks, so maybe I am just not seeing/understanding the difference in quality <shrug> I also have one of those handy little trigger deals which allows me more control on the spray volume and direction. I got that for about 2 bucks at Home Depot, it just clips to the top of your can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewen Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Thanks for the tips, but really, Krylon works just fine for me. Anyone had problems with Krylon being to thick and hiding detail? Running? Is it durable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewen Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I have had problems with Citadel spray primer becoming gritty. I plan on painting and a small army so I need a good primer. I have seen comments about Tamiya and Floquil. Has anyone used Testors Primer? I have access to it at my local hobby shop and Dullcote is great stuff. Is the primer good, too?

Durak Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I have used testors gray primer and I must say I have had the best results from it. Becareful though as it does come out in quite a high volume and will overcoat if you let it. I recommend short 3 second bursts about 8 inches away until you get the hang of it. As far as the Krylon grey primer I have had mixed results. The most recent being that primed the figure in question with bumps all over it. I suspect it might be a heat issue as my humidity is 20% and it gets up to 88s up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House of Dexter Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Simply Green is by far the best way to strip paint/primer... I've used Pine Sol for over 3 to 4 years...and just recently moved over to SG...and SG works so much easier...and to boot you don't get an oily residue that you get from Pine Sol. I've also tried Brake Fluid...and didn't care for that... To clean bumps...try rubbing alcohol...this stuff is great...and if used with an old synthetic brush...you can direct where you want to clean the figure...
