dont use it. get u some comet or Ajax power cleaner and a old tooth bush. wet model , sprinkle on scrub with tooth brush. when water no longer beads of wash with dish liquid and rinse well..air dry prime and paint

i use medium or thick CA glues..more time to work with and it wont run everywhere like the thin..

thats old Testors glue..this is the best way i found to deal with it...u gonna have to do some scraping and sanding for sure.. as to get the parts to come apart get u a plastic bowl of some sort with a lid.. and some Easy Off oven cleaner (name brand and yellow can) do this outside...spray model well and leave in sealed tub at least 24 hrs then under warm water start washing off and prying parts off gentle.. (make sure strainer in in sink) ..dry model and repete if needed..scrape and sand whats left.. i have used ease off lots of times fore un-glueing old models glued together with testors with great success .. now if u have any on windshield their are 2 ways to fix it.. easy way is to vacuum forum u one..#2 start sanding the spot with some 600 grit and keep working your way up to 2000 -3000 grit then u can polish out with crest tooth past..

off to a great start..

awesome job

a couple thin coats is all u need..brush on with a new brush..if u put it on to thick then its gonna show its thickness..

TJ get u a cheap hot glue gun at Walmart.. i think u would like it way more than the testors glue.. my tip for u is get u some alligator clips and some Bamboo Skewers (shish kabob sticks they cheap) ..crimp the clips to the skewers then get u a 2x6 piece of Styrofoam and glue it to a board.. this gives u a base to stick the painted parts in till dry..

awesome job

Easy Off is the best removing chrome within 5 Minuets.. bleach takes a while , as purple power ..

if u want to cut down of fumes go all water base acrylic paints ..easy clean up ,no smell..the lacquer paint smells worse than enamel paints..

go down to Walmart and get u a set..they cheap..then if u like them invest the money for a better set..

thank u all for your comments

i know some things are not right (for u rivet pickers) but i build my way..the dump truck i started with a Paystar cab and extended it a scale ft because i wanted external breathers.. (Paystar's dont have them) that's why i did it..lol..the dump bed is from the Revell KW dump..i built the tarp and added real oak wood for the running boards i cut on a table saw..frame is Paystar . it has a 3406 Cat in it..bumper is scratch built along with the receiver for the 50 Ton pintle hitch ..i add turned aluminum breathers and polished aluminum stacks along with a extra axle.truck and trailer has DOTD Louisiana license plate . Truck also has a DOTD inspection sticker..the trailer started as a junker. i cut the hitch of to make a bumper pull. the hitch and ramps are scratch built .trailer has 12 tires on 3 axles with 2 spars. the excavator started as a toy..i cut the door open along with the back glass. i added hand rails ,mirrors, hydraulic hose and piping, changed out tracks .painted Volvo colors and had dry transfer decals made..(numbers are wrong on excavator) forgot to add electric hook up for trailer brakes and lights but ill fix that.. weather out with pastels ..

i brought one of these years ago and love it..its CE Approved and u can connect as many together that u need... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Hobby-Airbrush-Paint-Spray-Booth-Kit-Exhaust-Filter-

awesome job

i use a flat white paint

ant nothing wrong with that compressor..great find..make sure u put a inline moister- water trap on it..

u must be one of them picky builders that everything gotta be just right and pretty for u to build. u might even ware white gloves..lol..they is nothing wrong with his tiny tank as u called it..i run a air compressor that has no tank ..comes on when u push the trigger..goes off when u let off..and it holds what ever pressure u set it at..

i use plane jane old comet cleaner ..scrub with a tooth brush then give it a good warm bath with dish liquid..rinse well..air dry..prime..paint..don deal..

Humidity has a lot to do with it but both of them needs clear coat..lacquer drys flat ..
