FAQs
Is this primer safe for all plastic miniatures?
Yes, this primer is formulated specifically for hobby miniatures made of plastic, resin, or metal.
Do I need to wash my models before priming?
It is highly recommended to wash your models in warm, soapy water to remove any release agents from the casting process before priming.
How long should I wait before painting over the primer?
The primer is generally touch-dry in minutes, but waiting 30 minutes to an hour ensures it is fully cured and ready for further painting.
Can I use this in cold weather?
Extreme cold can affect the aerosol pressure; try to keep the can at room temperature before use and ensure the surface being sprayed is not frozen.
Does this require a varnish topcoat?
While the primer provides a strong base, it is recommended to apply a varnish after painting your model to protect the final color layers.
Troubleshooting
The spray nozzle is clogging
Remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water or isopropyl alcohol, then clear it with a thin wire if necessary.
The finish looks grainy or 'fuzzy'
This is often caused by spraying from too far away; move the can slightly closer to the model and ensure you are working in moderate humidity.
Paint is pooling in the model's recesses
Apply thinner coats and use quick sweeping motions to avoid applying too much paint in a single pass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the can is at room temperature and shake it vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigment is thoroughly mixed. Always use this product outdoors or in a space with high airflow. To clean the nozzle after a session, turn the can upside down and spray for two seconds until clear gas emerges, preventing clogs. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This primer is compatible with most acrylic hobby paints, allowing for immediate painting once the primer has fully cured, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes depending on humidity.
