http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW white primer and every time I attempt to spray a model it sticks to the model in a fluffy way that makes painting impossible. I talked to a red shirt at my local store and he said the problem is with the humidity. I haven't primed a model in ten years but the last time I did this on a regular basis was in Atlanta. The ATL is always extremely humid but I never had any problems there. My question is-does anyone have any tips to solve this? I'm doing everything that I normally do (yes I'm shaking the can) but can't seem to get the primer to apply correctly. Is there another brand out there that works better or is there no way around this except to wait for some less humid days? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934623.page GMT GW Stuff isn't that great from what I've heard, I use Krylon Flat Black Primer, works great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934639.page GMT GW primer is just garbage.

I use Napa auto parts--Dupa Color white sandable primer]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934678.page GMT GW changed the formula for their white primer-I used to to prime all of my models with it ten years ago and this was never an issue, even in the summer. Thanks again]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934699.page GMT GWs but it primes more models. I only started last year and the price jumped from 8 to 10 to 15 and i swore to never use GWs primer again short of it being given to me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934725.page GMT I've had problems like this before. After a lot of trial (and failed miniatures) and asking the GW staff, i've figured out that the best temperature is 15 to 25 degrees Celsius, with a low humidity. I've also found that the white primer is more sensible to those conditions than the black one.
I live in texas and it's both super humid and hot, so i'm often forced to undercoat my miniatures inside my house ...

Hope that helps,

A quick spray with Krylon flat black or gray(I never use white) is all you need to prime your models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934757.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/254072/934794.page GMT
