The Little World

This last week has been good weather for spray painting.

Clearish, dryish, and warmish…enough to be able to manage lacquers with regular thinner and also spray rattle cans of clear. The shop heater has been on to make a warm box but this is less of a problem now that I have overcome my fear of using a hair dryer.

You cannot be too aggressive with this, but as long as the general shop atmosphere is not dusty and you keep the initial air spray a good distance from the model, you can really speed up the set of lacquers.

And you need to be patient with yellows. Four coats at least over a white undercoat and then stand well clear for 24 hours. The result was glossy enough not to need a clear under the decals.
