Model Forum / General / Models / April 2007Which clear coat?
Hi all, Long story short - I ventured out of modeling and painted my iBook laptop with Krylon Fusion. So far, good adhesion, great color and finish. However, I'm doing some "detail painting" over the Krylon Fusion base, and really need a clear coat over it. Does anyone know what kind of clear coat to use? Which to avoid? Is the Fusion a lacquer, enamel, or acrylic? Bah - I can never remember the rule about which clear can cover which color base! I'm getting too old, or the fumes have gotten to me. :( Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, it goes on hot but you put it on thin at first before building it up enough. Same with any paint, really.. you always lay it down in thin light coats before putting it on heavy. Try it. You'll never go back to future. --Stephen >> >>Hi all, >> >> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > >--Stephen what happened with you and future?was it a repeated problem or did it mess up something important? i know that panaceas are nonsense so i would be glad to learn from your expirience. > > some...@some.domain wrote: > > > In article <Xns9921DAA4B6FF9jackfalconkits...@216.196.97.136>, Jack Smith [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Initial googling gives me stuff related to dental molding.

You can find it at a Wesco automotive gadget store if you have any nearby. The trick is to thin it 6:1 (6 parts duracryl thinner..not other thinner) to 1 part base. This stuff isn't cheap but you mix up a batch and it lasts a very long time. You'll find many mentions of duracryl in modeling websites, like internet modeler and ipms usa's website. --Stephen > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Jack > A Krylon clear coat? Fusion is an acrylic alkyd. Krylon makes an acrylic clear called Acrylic Crystal Clear that does not yellow. SignatureBill In Hamptonburgh, NY |
