FAQs
How long should I shake the can before use?
Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before each use.
What is the ideal temperature for priming?
It is best to prime in moderate temperatures (around 20-25°C or 68-77°F). Avoid priming in extreme heat or cold.
How far away should I hold the can when spraying?
Hold the can approximately 8-10 inches away from the model.
How many coats of primer should I apply?
Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
How do I clean the spray nozzle?
After use, invert the can and spray until only propellant comes out to clear the nozzle. If it clogs, clean with solvent.
What kind of miniatures can I use this primer on?
The TTCombat V2 Spray Primer is compatible with most plastic, resin, and metal miniatures. Always test on a small area first.
How long does it take for the primer to dry?
Drying times will vary, check the can for specific instructions, but generally, allow at least 15-30 minutes between coats and a few hours before handling.
What should I do if the primer is too thick?
Apply thinner coats from a greater distance and ensure the can is adequately shaken. Avoid spraying in humid conditions.
Troubleshooting
Primer is clumping or spitting.
Ensure the nozzle is clean. If necessary, clean with a suitable solvent or replace the nozzle. Make sure you're shaking the can well before use.
Primer appears too thick or runs.
Apply thinner coats from a greater distance. Avoid applying in high humidity or temperatures.
Primer doesn't adhere properly.
Ensure the miniature is clean and free of oils or dust. Use a primer specifically designed for the material of your miniatures.
The can is not spraying.
Make sure the nozzle is not clogged. If the nozzle is clear, and the can is full, the can may be defective. Contact the manufacturer or retailer.
