    This is from a collection I bought this past week. I think the kit is more than 10 years old.

    I tried Dawn spray to clean them. After I washed off the soap and dried tham they were still tacky. My wife suggested baking soda (powder?) since it is an abrassive. I put some on a wet paper towel and scrub for a short time. Washed off and dried. Still tacky.

    Sorry I should have been more clear. It looks to be rubber resin since these are softer than hard resin.

    I have some resin cast 1/12 tires and the have a sticky film on them. Any ideas to remove this?

    I just got the Renwal kit and saw there were the Revell GTB on the 'bay.

    I made a .020 template and taped it to the body. Then used the Tamiya pin scriber to make the do line. I like this scriber because it doesn't jump out of the line once it is started.

    I always wondered if this car ever had a blower. Looks like it did based on the aboe pic.

    Mike it is working this morning. Not sure what was going on yesterday.

    Mike the link is not working for me.

    That's what I painted mine.

    I did finish stripping the body ttoday. I will reprime it to start fresh.

    Thanks Steve. I will try your technick for the Primer Sealer. Usually i only put a couple of coats. But I will go back and put 5 coats on the Rambler. Then try the color again.

    I guess I thought the thinner made it dry too fast and that is why I got the roughness. It does sand easily but i was hoping for an easier path.

    I decanted some BIN sealer yesterday. I added some 70% alcohol n a 2 to 1 ratio. I sprayed it but it came out really ruff. Do you have to thin the aerosol after you decant it?

    Thanks Dave. I do use an Oil-less compressor plus 2 water seperators. 1 at the Compressor and 1 close to the Air Brush.

    Could it be I am putting it on too thick? I using my medium needle in my air rush which I use for every pint I have ever sprayed.
  19. Len Woodruff
    I am not thinning it. It sprays fine out of the can.

    Dave it could be craters like you said. They look like fish eyes but seem to be deep too. I should have taken picks to show every one.
  21. Len Woodruff
    I have use both the Testors Wet Look clear and Tamiya Lacquer decanted with no problems through my setup. The fisheyes aren't all over the car. Just a spot on the hood.
  22. Len Woodruff
    Another note is I have been using Splash 2K clear and have never had any issue like this. I use the same process for both. The fish eyes have happened both using my setup and my buddies. Both times the 1K was decanted then sprayed from my air-brush.
  23. Len Woodruff
    Just to confirm you haven't had any fish eyes when you shot it from the can?
  24. Len Woodruff
    I have been using this paint decanted on several bodies. I like the results but I have gotten a few fish eyes in a few places. Not sure why? Any ideas?
  25. Len Woodruff
    I agree. The DC-8 cargo plane was beyond belief. I was glad to be part of that diaroma.
