FAQs

How long should I wait between coats?

Allow approximately 5-10 minutes between thin coats in normal conditions. Ensure the previous coat is dry to the touch before applying the next.

Can this be used on bare plastic?

Yes, it can be used on bare plastic, but for best results and adhesion, it is recommended to prime the surface first.

What is the best environment for applying this spray?

Apply in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature (15-25°C) and low humidity to ensure optimal drying and finish.

How do I clean up overspray?

Wet overspray can typically be cleaned with a solvent like isopropyl alcohol or lacquer thinner, depending on the surface. Dried overspray may require careful sanding.

Is this product flammable?

Yes, like most aerosol sprays, this product contains propellants and should be kept away from heat, sparks, and open flames.

What is the shelf life of the spray can?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the spray can typically maintain its efficacy for several years. Always check for any signs of corrosion or leakage before use.

Troubleshooting

Uneven or patchy spray coverage

Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly before and during use. Maintain a consistent spray distance (20-30 cm) and use even, sweeping motions. Apply in multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat.

Nozzle clog after use

Immediately after spraying, turn the can upside down and spray for 1-2 seconds to clear residual paint from the nozzle. If clogged, try removing the nozzle and soaking it in lacquer thinner, then rinsing thoroughly.

Runs or drips on the surface

The spray was likely applied too close or too heavily. Allow the area to dry completely, then gently sand down the runs with fine-grit sandpaper and reapply in thin, even coats.

Surface appears cloudy or dull instead of glossy

This can occur if applied in humid conditions or if the surface was not properly prepared. Ensure the surface is clean and dry, and apply in a low-humidity environment. May require additional coats or a different type of clear coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Shake the can vigorously for at least 30 seconds before use. Ensure the surface to be coated is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Work in a well-ventilated area, away from open flames or heat sources.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on a wide range of model kit materials including ABS, PS, PVC, and painted surfaces. Test on an inconspicuous area first if applying to unfamiliar materials.

Care: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place. After use, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging.
