Altho I heard the Italian improved lately? I had packages take 1.5 months between Spain and Hungary, and that was years before COVID. I did buy a mini from Spain last night so lets see when it arrives.

I'm almost out of Vallejo flow improver for my airbrush. Is there anything else worth using? Its been magic for thinning everything down but it sucks to get in Canada as far as I've been able to figure out

Its been magic for thinning everything down but it sucks to get in Canada as far as I've been able to figure out ??? I live in the great Northern Gem and it was easy as hell to get. What's hard here, for me anyways, was their grey primer and cleaner. I can only find the super small bottles of the cleaner, and I'm already needing to restock. EDIT: I got mine on Amazon no problem, but I guess if it's selling out, that would make an issue. I got mine a month ago and still have quite a bit left.

200 mL of Vallejo Flow Improver costs me $15 USD, which google tells me should be about $20 CAD. a $10 premium does sound a bit extreme -- are you talking about the 200mL bottle or did you buy bigger?

I am in Canada, I normally order liquids I can't get locally from Sunward Hobbies https://www.sunwardhobbies.ca/ You can get 200ml of Vallejo Flow Improver for 16 bucks Canadian.

I got the 200mL, but I'm pretty sure I didn't pay $30 for it. I think it was just north of $20, so prices have crept up, apparently. I try to buy from local, then smaller online businesses before going to the Zon.

Windsor & Newton also sells Flow Improver that's basically the same thing as the Vallejo brand, not sure if it's available in CA or if the price is any better.

Didn't know about sunward so ill go through them, thanks. Any recommendations on brushes? My kolinksy guys are started to give and I'm not sure I'm super happy with them. Only time I've ordered from green stuff world was to buy some magnets a while ago. Hearing about all their bullshit with YouTubers and colorshifting paint should be enough to avoid them let alone the Nazi stuff (which isn't great but seemed more like autistic handling of a situation than anything if I remember) w00tmonger fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Nov 10, 2020 |

So I am trying to work with my Badger 105 and I am having a really, really terrible time It feels imprecise, everything I put through it clogs immediately, and in futiley trying to adjust things I really did seem to break the lever adjustment for trigger which is apaprently just a flimsy piece of thin metal on a tiny cheap spring???? There's a whole lot of adjustable dials that don't seem to have any measurable impact on anything whatsoever, as far as i can tell the flow control dial does literally nothing? am I missing something here????

The Patriot 105? It doesn't have anything that is adjustable as far as I know. As for clogging, you're likely not thinning the paint enough. I put at least some flow improver in with everything that goes through my airbrush, and normal paints get a ton.

There's only one spring? And then the metal arm that supports the trigger itself. http://www.badgerairbrush.com/PDF/105%20Fine%20Patriot.pdf Reading that you can adjust trigger tension but most people should never need to do that.

Cinara posted:There's only one spring? And then the metal arm that supports the trigger itself. there's at least two, or it might have just been more than one way to reach the same spring I was trying to find some way to get it to spray less paint, it seems to have the "always sprays even when flow should be off" problem and it shouldn't have been clogged or clogging, my paint was super thinned down and I literally just took the thing out of the box today it's so clogged I can't fix it without a full teardown now and I never had this happen once with the other airbrush. I'm hoping I'm just having a run of bad luck with this thing edit: comedy service technician notes: EQUIPMENT ARRIVED ASSEMBLED INCORRECTLY BY FACTORY it's all working a lot better now but something wasn't tightened the correct amount somewhere in here thank you for the pdf while i flailed, patient goon Mirthless fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Nov 11, 2020 |

Mirthless posted:there's at least two, or it might have just been more than one way to reach the same spring I’ve heard multiple stories about Badger Quality Control not being what it used to be and people getting bad brushes right out of the box. But I’ve also heard that Badger Customer Service is still top notch and they do everything to rectify the situations. I’ve been very happy with the Badger brushes that I own, but the only non-Badger brush I’ve used was an Aztech, so i don’t have much to compare them to.

Is there a generally recommended alternative to Testors Dullcote? It's out of stock everywhere around me and prices just seem to be going up everywhere I look online. I do have an airbrush if that helps, but I've never sprayed enamel with it and kinda afraid I'll break it.

Can dullcote be used as a primer? I have a clear model that I need to prime, but want to maintain the transparency. Is there such a thing as clear primer?

It's thicker than you want for primer, I wouldn't recommend it I think clear models are mostly intended to take some paint as-is. It's worked alright for my fire/water elementals so far, though admittedly i don't handle them excessively often.

Sorry, I should have added that I 3d printed it using clear resin, so I can't bank on it being ready to accept paint as is. Is varnish a good idea in general for this purpose? I have an airbrush so I don't think that I'll have any issues with thickness of the coats.

If you're just looking for a matte varnish, Vallejo Mecha Matte, use it through your airbrush.

Nearly as good and easier to work with... unless you strictly need an enamel varnish
