Guest promodmerc Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) What cloth do I need to look for that is lint free? I know hand towels & the like are not the answer Edit: Just realized I forgot to mention I'm wanting this to wipe down bodies before painting. Edited December 5, 2008 by promodmerc
Robert Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 What cloth do I need to look for that is lint free? I know hand towels & the like are not the answer The best thing I have found to use is an Anti-static Cleaning Cloth. I used these for years to wipe photo negatives before printing and have found they work well on models. You can purchase these online, or at any photo supply store (If any still exist).

I use an Anti-static Cleaning Cloth. It works great since static-cling is notoriously one of our worst enemies when it comes to preparing a model for painting; especially during the winter months,

It works great since static-cling is notoriously one of our worst enemies when it comes to preparing a model for painting; especially during the winter months, Wash your bodies off with soap and water , then rinse thoroughly with warm water . Do not dry them off with cloth. Jack your regulator up to the hundred psi. mark and blow them dry with filtered air . No lint , no dirt , no fuss , no muss ! Using cloth to dry your cars off is only inviting Murphy into the equation. Just a suggestion . Donn Yost Lone Wolf Custom Painting
