caudleryan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) I'm currently working on a Zvezda 747-8 and I am in the primer stage. Just recently bought a new bottle of the Badger primer as my old one is just about empty. I'm not really sure what happened, but it looks like the primer started separating, getting weird streaks and fisheyes. Before primer, I cleaned every surface religiously with 91% alcohol and wore gloves while handling the model. So, I don't think contamination is the issue. The bottle was also thoroughly mixed. I think I may have gotten a bad batch of primer as my old bottle is just fine out of the bottle. Images below to show what I am talking about. This area has already been sanded down smooth, but you should still be able to see the weird striping and separating. So, any suggestions on what this may be? It's a fairly new bottle. Only about three months since I ordered it online. In my opinion, I think it is a bad bottle. What do you guys think? Edited November 6, 2020 by caudleryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the old bottle worked fine and the new bottle doesn't work, then I think you have answered your own question. Same humidity and high spray pressure as before? I would try another bottle from a different merchant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Batch problem maybe. Ive used a good couple of dozen bottles of it and never had a problem with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Trebor Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Do a test spray on a piece of plasticard to make sure it is not the plastic. Regards Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
