maketar Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hello modelers, I made a peeling off & sanding experiment with 4 primers: - Vallejo surface primer - AMMO mig `ONE SHOT` primer (Badger Stynylrez) - ALCLAD 2 primer & microfiller - Mr.FINISHING SURFACER 1500 Hope you will find it useful. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juanchopancho Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I was just looking for thinning ratio for Mr Surfacer. Good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curt B Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Thanks so much for this demonstration/test. Frankly, the only one that I was a bit surprised about was the Vallejo. I expected the other 3 to perform outstandingly to your 2 tests (masking and sanding). While I have multiple colors of the Vallejo primer, and while I personally have not had any issues with it, others have complained of poor performance in both masking and sanding (pulling off primer, and a failure to feather nicely when sanding). I was surprised and pleased to see your experiment showed the Vallejo just as successful as the other 3. Maybe its got to do with your prep (good, thorough wash to clean off any contaminants, and one more cleaning with alcohol). I've learned something...if I ever do go back to using Vallejo Primer (I have all 3 of the other primers, so unlikely I'll revert to Vallejo), I will certainly prepare the plastic with a wash and alcohol rubdown first. Thanks again! Oh...one more thing...thanks for the thinner recommendation (brand and volume) for the Mr. Surfacer. I have yet to actually use it as a primer, but I have the Black 1500, and had wondered about the best thinner to use. I've got a lot of the Mr. Leveling Thinner, to use primarily with my Mr. Color lacquer paints, but that thinner seems to be as close to a universal thinner as I have ever seen, based on my own experience and other tests on various videos.

Fly-n-hi Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Nice vid! I really like how you get straight to the point. I also like the fact that you use text instead of voice...I like being able to pause it and read it. Too many guys post vids where they talk too much and take too long to get to the point.

ElectroSoldier Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I would like to ask but wouldnt like to imply I dont believe but how do you guys know AMMO mig ONE SHOT primer is Badger Stynylrez? Does the AMMO site say its made by Badger for instance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
