Just got a registered package. Supposed to be delivered on Saturday, I believe the postman eat snake.
Nice and clean
Couldn’t get any picture in mid way because wearing a gas mask and I don’t want the fume to destroy my cam.
The left is my Gunze Procon 0.2 right is my Sparmax DH3 0.3. The liquid is AAA thinner.
The whole idea is to strip down your airbrush to the minimum and take out the o-rings and teflon packings. Fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water and fill up a tubbleware with thinner and drop what ever stuff you wanna clean inside Switch on the cleaner for 3 – 5 mins with the container in contact with the water. Come out spick and spank.
Toxicity Level = HIGH
No Yotsuba here because she will melt……
Recently, me ish starting to feel something wrong. Feeling heavy chest and my throat got a funny feeling. Wonder it is too much thinner or paint particles in my lungs. Going to go down to Sungei Jurong tomorrow after work to get a gas mask.
Kambatte!
Yesterday was a field day at Kelantan Lane and SLT. As prior researches, I hop down to Hean Lee Radio Service to dig for my bathroom fan. Continue reading ‘Engineering Field Day – DIY Spray Booth’
Got it of from ebay for cheap being it is not usually found in normal household. Guess what it is.
I have purchased this Gunze Mr Surfacer 1000 bottled primer thinking it is cheaper and last longer. But thats not true. I have used it sparingly until now I used it fully to prime my Kanu. It was an sh88ty experience.
Can’t use industrial thinner, because it dried up too fast and have to use Nakamoto acetone based thinner. (Now I can ID the type of thinner by smell, I am so dead). Thinning is an chore. When come actual spraying, it took me thrice the amount of time it took me to use a spray can to get proper coverage. Being thinner when mixed with thinner, it leaves sh*t load of pin holes uncovered, which later I going to cover it up myself. It gunk my procon so easily that cleaning have to be done every single cup full and dried so fast that it make a mess and it doesn’t grip as good as Tamiya. In term of pricing, I remember 100ml spray can Gunze is more expensive than 180ml Tamiya.
Hence conclusion, bottle primer is NOT GREAT for resins, maybe good for gundams. Tamiya spray can primer is King!
Today I will introduce some tools needed for garage kits. Some are necessities and some are nice to have. Still it make life easier doing jobs when using the appropriate tools.
From the usual sandpapers, airbrush and compressor which is a must. Performance and quality play a issue as well. Hi-end airbrush are mostly likely to be very smooth and hi-end compressor are usually very quiet mostly come with a air-tank for constant pressure. Of course down here the best value are Sparmax airbrush and sparmax compressor.
Procon PS270 and silair compressors.
Washing and a bit of pinning is done. I have tried a new detailing technique. No idea what’s it called so I named it "dig-in"
Was preping Kanu in the midst of a hot afternoon.
See the mess xD. The dremel make some jobs so much easier. Some advanced preping need a dremel as well.
