What's the difference in these two paints?

08 May 2013 - 01:11 PM

I've got a can of MM 28138 white lacquer primer and a can of MM 2961 Super fine white lacquer primer. What's the difference in these two primers. Is one preferred over the other?

Is this available from anyone in 1/24 scale? The ad talks mostly about rivets but there are louvers on the sheet too.

Should lacquer thinner be used to strip enamel off of plastic? Will it soften the plastic?

Does anyone use anything like this for your models? I'm looking for ideas for holding the cars while working on them.

Paint Glove Box

10 January 2013 - 07:39 PM

Back in the late 60s I worked at one of the nuclear weapons plants in Oak Ridge, TN. Working in the lab, I spent my fair share of time working in a glove box. If you're not familiar with it, it's a closed environment where you can work on all sorts of nasty materials without contaminating the surrounding area or yourself. Your arms fit into rubber gloves that are attached and sealed. Here's something from Wiki:

I'm thinking, why can't the same theory work for an enclosed spray booth. I've drawn up some plans and I've got a couple of questions. Should it be a down draft, up draft, side draft or back draft? I wonder how much flow I'll need to keep the paint overspray from building up and obscuring vision?
