What surfaces can I use this primer on?
This primer is designed for plastic, resin, and MDF kits, commonly used for miniatures and scenery.
Can I paint over this primer immediately?
Yes, once the primer has dried for about 30 minutes, it provides a suitable surface for most acrylic and enamel hobby paints.
Is this primer suitable for airbrushing?
No, this is a spray can primer and is not designed for use in an airbrush.
Can I order this product if I live outside the UK mainland?

How should I clean the spray nozzle?

Troubleshooting
Uneven coverage or primer pooling
Ensure the can is shaken sufficiently before use and maintain a consistent distance from the model. Apply in multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat.
Primer obscuring details
Hold the can further away from the model and use lighter, shorter bursts. Avoid over-application. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before priming.
Primer not adhering well
Ensure the surface to be primed is clean, dry, and free from mold release agents (especially on resin). Check for excessive humidity or cold temperatures during application, which can affect adhesion.
Can won't spray
Ensure the nozzle is not blocked. Try cleaning it as per the care instructions. Check that the can is upright and the trigger is fully depressed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use. Hold the can approximately 20-30cm (8-12 inches) away from the model or terrain piece. Use short, controlled bursts to apply an even coat. Avoid applying in overly thick layers to prevent obscuring fine details. Ensure you spray in a well-ventilated area, ideally outdoors or in a space with good airflow, away from ignition sources.
Compatibility: This primer is suitable for use on plastic, resin, and MDF hobby kits. It is designed to create a base layer that accepts most acrylic and enamel hobby paints.
Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the nozzle is cleaned after each use by inverting the can and spraying until only clear propellant emerges. This prevents the nozzle from becoming clogged. Keep out of reach of children.
