Full details
This AK Interactive Bone Primer spray is designed for miniature painters seeking a neutral, high-adhesion base coat that enhances subsequent paint layers. It provides a uniform finish that highlights details and optimizes contrast paint application, acting as an ideal starting point for any color palette. A potential consideration is its specific bone tone, which may require adjustment if a stark white or dark grey primer is preferred for certain effects.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of using this bone primer?
The primary benefit is providing a uniform, neutral base that enhances the vibrancy of contrast paints and facilitates natural light and shadow effects, while preserving fine model details.
Can I use this primer on different types of miniatures?
Yes, this primer is designed for compatibility with plastic, resin, and metal miniatures.
How long does it take for the primer to dry?
The primer dries quickly, allowing for subsequent painting steps shortly after application. Specific drying times can vary based on environmental conditions.
Is this primer suitable for all painting techniques?
It is especially optimized for contrast paints. While it works as a general primer, its specific bone tone might not be ideal for techniques that strictly require a pure white or black base.
What is the volume of the spray can?
The volume of the spray can is 400 ml.
How should I clean the nozzle after use?
After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. If it becomes clogged, use an appropriate spray nozzle cleaner.
Does the primer hide the details on my miniatures?
No, the primer is designed to provide fine, even coverage with high adhesion without obscuring details on complex shapes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or sputtering
Shake the can more vigorously for a longer period. Ensure the nozzle is clean and not blocked. Test spray on a disposable surface. If the issue persists, the can may be faulty.
Primer appears grainy or rough
This can occur if sprayed too far from the model, in humid conditions, or if the can was not shaken sufficiently. Ensure proper distance and shake the can well. Avoid spraying in adverse weather conditions.
Primer obscuring fine details
Hold the can at the recommended distance (typically 20-30 cm) and apply thin, even coats. Avoid applying overly thick layers, which can build up and obscure detail. Shake the can well before and during use.
Can will not spray
Check that the nozzle is properly attached and clear of obstructions. Turn the can upside down and spray briefly to clear the nozzle. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged with dried paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure the spray can is at room temperature (ideally 15-25°C). Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute to thoroughly mix the contents. Test spray on a scrap piece or an inconspicuous area to check coverage and flow.
Compatibility: This primer is designed for use on plastic, resin, and metal miniatures. It is particularly optimized for use with acrylic-based paints, including contrast paints, inks, and standard acrylics. Avoid using solvent-based paints immediately after priming, allowing ample time for the primer to fully cure.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle. Clean the nozzle with the appropriate cleaner if it becomes clogged. Keep out of reach of children.
