HANDITAK Question...

[samm1970]

I've been using HANDITAK for years to attach small/smallish parts to plastic rods, skewers etc... to spray paint them.Here's my problem lately after painting the part there appears to be a faint "oily" spot in the paint after it dries.I've never had this issue before and was wondering if anyone else had similar problems.The pack I'm using I've only had for a month or so.Dou you guy's think it's a bad batch or maybe they changed the formula?I'm at a loss here, any suggestions, hints or comment would be welcomed.

Thank's

Sam

Ps,

If your not familiar w/ Handitak it's the yellow stretchy stuff that can hang up posters, notes et....

I've never used the stuff so I can't comment on it...

however, if you're talking about attaching small parts to bits of sprue to use as a handle while you paint the part(s), there are better ways to go. A small loop of masking tape works, or my personal favorite: I use a tiny drop of CA to glue the part in a spot that won't be seen after assembly to a length of scrap sprue. After the paint dries I just snap the part off. Works great, and the sprue makes a great parts holder for painting.
