a dullcote question

[JaPizzy]

I was reading in an older thread on here that to reduce the \"milky\" problems with testors dullcote that you should shake it and then let it sit for a minute before spraying. I\'ve only every read that the once and I was just wondering how many people let it sit before spraying it and how long should you let it sit to reduce that effect, because I know I\'ve had that problem many times.

Cheers!

Most important thing with spray DulCoat is doing the shake dance. At least 90 seconds and in several directions. Shake, swirl, etc. Get the flattening agents mixed well with the varnish and carrier.

Every time I have had DulCoat coat go milky it was either the paint was not cured (moisture) or the humidity was too high (moisture). Or I put it right on top of Krylon clear. (gotta wait on that cure time).

I\'ve found that warming the cans up (I leave them outside on the patio in the 80-90 degree shade) is a good thing. Same for the minis, let them warm a bit more than the 70 something from the house. After spraying, take them inside to let them cure. They smell a bit, but the humidity is better inside under air-conditioning or heat than outside.

I know, some of you don\'t live in Florida where it is in the 90\'s in both temp and humidity. Try a warm water bath for the can of dulcoat. Not hot, not on the stove. Just warm from the tap like you\'d wash your hands in.

yeah make sure you shake the can very well, as airhead said make sure the different components are evenly coated on the model. If you\'ve used the brush on variant you will see a good example. Let it sit in the pot for a while and the two parts of it will clearly separate, shake it well and it returns to one consitent fluid, however if you dont shake the can i guess it\'s just like spraying one part of this fluid onto the model, which won\'t work for obvious reasons.
