FAQs
How long should I shake the can before use?
Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes before each use.
What is the ideal distance to spray from the model?
Hold the can approximately 8-12 inches away from the model.
Can I use this primer on metal miniatures?
Yes, TTCombat Admiralty Grey Spray Primer is suitable for use on metal, plastic, and resin miniatures.
What kind of ventilation is needed?
Work in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a spray booth, to avoid inhaling fumes.
How many coats of primer should I apply?
Apply thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. Usually, one or two thin coats are sufficient.
How long should I wait between coats?
Wait for about 10-15 minutes between coats, or until the previous coat is dry to the touch.
How do I clean the spray nozzle?
After use, invert the can and spray until only propellant comes out. This helps prevent the nozzle from clogging.
Troubleshooting
Primer is clumping or producing a rough texture.
Ensure you are shaking the can adequately before use. Check the distance from the model and apply in thin, even coats. The humidity may also affect the result; if it's too humid, avoid spraying.
Primer is running or pooling.
Apply in short bursts and avoid spraying too heavily in one area. If it runs, let it dry and gently sand the area before reapplying.
No primer is coming out of the can.
Check if the nozzle is clogged. Try cleaning the nozzle with a pin or replace it. Ensure the can is properly shaken.
Primer isn't sticking to the model.
Make sure the model is clean and free of oils. The primer may also not be compatible with the model's plastic. Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly and that the environment is not too humid.
