Emergency broadcast message about primer

[ismaelg]

Hello,

You may remember my post a few weeks ago about primers. I tested Nason 421 primer and initial results indicated it was a good replacement for Plastikote. Well, I did more tests with it and ran into a problem:

I used Nason primer on a Revell Cadillac STS-V uptown body to test how it sands compared to Plastikote, which is a beauty to sand. When I was going to sand it I noticed it lifted in a small area. Curious, I taped a strip of masking tape across it and pulled: ALL THE PRIMER PULLED OFF. I thought it could have been improperly cleaned surface, so I cleaned it and sanded lightly, re-applied primer and long story made short same thing happened again. It did not happened in the C6 Corvette I tried first. I tried the tape several times on the Vette but it did not lifted. Why one of them and not the other one? I have no idea.

So the Nason primer is now quarantined until further notice. It seems it doesn't bite into the plastic enough to stick.

We may now return to our regularly scheduled programming, already in progress....

Thanks,

I have one question, was the body totally free of mold release for the first round of testing? I would soak another body in Blech White and run it again.

I've been using Duplicolor for all my final body prep work and have never had a problem with it.

Nason is more or less DuPont's budget line of products. I experimented with the Nason equivalent of VariPrime a few years ago and found that it was totally useless for my modeling purposes. The best thing about it was that it came in a plastic container so it didn't make a lot of noise when I dumped it in my garbage can.

As Homer Simpson would say..."DOH!".

Bet Ismael would love to have known that before buying it! It's a bit harder in PR to find paint products than it is on the mainland.

Nice to see you pop in occasionally Leon!

Out of curiosity, when did Dupont acquire Nason.They were owned by

Fuller Paints origionaly, and i used their primer on 1/1 for at least 20 years. The red oxide was the best primer made at the time.
