Gundam Modeling Official thread - Part 5

[tanyieern]

Hi,
Just top coated my model today morning and just checked, there were some white patchy stuff all over. Did i do something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

is there a button at the bottom of the tap?? press it to equalize the pressure inside and outside, then try to unscrew. Hope it helps

Finally took it out and give it a good clean.

BTW, was wondering how to remove dried lacquer in the airbrush if it happens? Soak it in thinner and brush it off?

Thanks!

I assume you flat coat it? It might be caused by the weather and humidity or maybe because you didn't give it enough time to cure. I would at least wait at least 30 mins before spraying 2nd coat to play safe.

I only sprayed 1 coat... Probably is the weather. Raining frequently the past few days. Is there any way to remediate this?

Any hobby thinner will do?

I tried using lighter fluid, white stuff reappears after the fluid evaporates...

Iirc, those clear coat sprays are lacquer. So you can only use hobby thinner, e.g. Gaia T07, lacquer thinner, to clean it off..

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure about those, but you should have taken a look at the Gundam Expo last month. Should have higher chance than AFA bah
