 This is where I paint, and I use a bigass fan to push air out the window. Thats an old bedsheet about 3 inches away from the wall there, to trap overspray, not that there is any. Also, I should probably get a respirator, but for the mean time, I dont.

I don't even use on inside. Paint in a well-ventilated area and you'll be fine. Also I smoke so my lungs are already hosed so ymmv.

Does anyone have any advise or links to painting opaque glass? I screwed up the clear plastic canopy of a storm talon, and am having to paint it over. So far, I'm using a light grey (fortress grey) with the panel deviders black. I'm thinking I'll do lighter colors in stripes to look reflect-y, but past that I'm at a loss to make it look good.

Manifest posted:I don't even use on inside. Paint in a well-ventilated area and you'll be fine. This. Acrylic is nontoxic. Isopropyl alcohol is harmful if you drink it and only then after you keep doing it. Primer has some latex in it, so if you have a latex allergy, that's bad news but otherwise the advice in here is a little overblown. Masks and goggles are important for spray epoxy and polyurethane substances--poo poo that is not water soluble and inert, but is instead a Motherfucker of molecules that is trying to bind to any S orbitals it can and demand all the Joules to break free. White blood cells can't do poo poo about that. White blood cells can clear acrylic polymers in their sleep. They would probably rather clear those than the pollen and dust that they have to clear all the time anyway--because the atmosphere is full of plants taking a poo poo plus whatever random dander and pollutants are byproducts of civilization. People can smoke for decades before their lungs start to degrade--some people can even smoke a lifetime and die of something unrelated. If you want some geeky hypothesizing on it, our ancestors mastered the art of cooking--that is to say, prehuman apes could cook, and lived and worked in close proximity to open flames and smoke on a regular basis. I'm not sure if you know this, but burning plants is a horrendously toxic process and plants are full of awful poo poo that will kill you--they have to be. It's their only defense against predators. So human lungs seem to be comparitively well adapted to clearing bioactive and inert substances. Where it falls down is with molecules or atoms that are too heavy or powerfully bonded to be absorbed and ferried out of the body--aesbestos is the biggest example. Those are strands of glass which isn't particularly reactive and as a consequence can't get absorbed well. Acrylic is water soluble and doesn't do much in solution. So it's total cake for your body to deal with. If you're like Feeple, who sounds like he has a preexisting condition that predisposes him to a hyperactive immune response (possibly Crohn's-like lung affliction, usually down to dietary inflammatory agents or a possible previous severe upper respiratory illness which put his immune system on a hair trigger), then, sure, it doesn't matter how mild the antagonist is, you might react. But you'd probably already know that and never even imagine the possiblity of using a spray anything without a mask--because you'd already be the type of person constantly worried about the particulates in your environment. Since it only takes cheetos dust rising from a Goon pounding on the table in a fit of rage over the precise wording of Doomscythe 'everything under a line on the battlefield' attacks (note; this attack hits nothing, since literally no model would be under the battlefield WORKING AS INTENDED (will be faqqed!)). So chill the gently caress out. Sealer should still be applied in a ventilated area and not swallowed, licked, or snorted. Do not operate airbrush inside colon.

Thanks, I was worried about my mucous membranes getting clogged with paint. No harsh conditions, some allergy to other kinds of paint - I use a gasmask when priming, but it's not exactly an option for precise work.TheCosmicMuffet posted:Do not operate airbrush inside colon. e:f,b

ijyt posted:You could just Simple Green it. I had a bit of luck with something like this by putting some PVA on the area, letting it dry and then peeling it off. It tends to take the paint away with it, so it might be worth a try. Or else yeah, Simple Green would just strip it all and you can start over.

If you can't paint your models by licking them after spraying unrelated models, you're just not putting in enough commitment to this hobby.

BadLlama posted:Will Simple Green remove primer from plastic or am I hosed on this one? Yes. Depending on how paranoid you are about the plastic, you can leave it in for a little bit and then scrub with a toothbrush. I recently left a dozen 12 year old paintjobs in simple green + water for a few days and rinsed/scrubbed them. The plastic ones are cleaner than the metal ones. No other meaningful difference.

I have had plastic models sitting in an undiluted simple green bath for over two years. It was a globster tactical squad thrown into a bottle of the stuff along with an old metal dreadnought. As it happens, the pewter venerable dread did far more damage to the space marines than the simple green did! In short, SG is totally safe on plastic and is not going to hurt it. I cannot say the same for a pound of drifting metal chunks.

Yeah, I can confirm that simple green does pretty much no damage to plastic even after 2-3 years of sitting in a tub of it. Whether it will actually loosen/remove the primer or not is another matter. On the metal figures the primer and paint will slide right off, on the plastic ones I usually have to go at it with a toothbrush and even then it can sometimes be a chore depending on how well the primer has bonded with the plastic. I don't know how resin fares, I think I might actually be afraid of the resin bending and deforming if I have to scrub the primer off.

It benefits all of us if Reaper baits lonely, unfucked nerds in to giving them startup money. It makes sense, too, because if history has shown us anything its that perverts tend to have way too much disposable income. To be honest I bet the nude sculpts are basically just a way for the sculptors to sell their practice work. Sculpt a female, throw on some wings on it, done deal. Having said that, I've always liked Reaper. I hope their kickstarter goes through! Also what Sushi said, they've been making those succubus ladies since forever and a day. In other news I painted up some 15mm Space Bugs from Highlander Studios today.  I think I need to give them an ink or wash or something... they are looking a bit flat.

Dr: You did not come to the doctors in time and did too much running about and stuff when you had bronchitis. Now be super careful. Dont do anything like sport or painting. Me: Why can't I paint? Dr: You have to be super careful about any fumes and rubbish. You're super sensitive for a while now. Me: But I only have a week to paint some models. Dr: For what? Me: The internet. Dr: What? Me: I told some guys on the internet I'd paint some models and I get points if I do. Dr: You might get scarring or something in your scratched up to hell throat if you do. Me: But the internet Dr: No! The look I got when trying to explain that I really wanted to paint and it mattered more than barely being able to breath and having a bleeding throat. Only 7 days
