Dust free help needed
Posted by jridge on Monday, March 8, 2004 10:05 AM
I need help keeping dust off my models between paint sessions, etc.

I thought I read a post about using an Endust compressed air product? But, I’ve searched the forums every way I can think of and can’t find the post.

As I recall (?), the Endust product not only blew the dust off the model but also created a static charge that helped repel dust.

Anyone recall this post?

What other methods do you use?

Thanks for the advise.

I don't think there is an answer to that problem. No matter how hard I try I always manage to get some.

I usually keep a large, CLEAN box handy and cover my paintwork in between coats. Sometimes covering it with a box will even do some good. Then, when I'm ready for the next coat, I blow it off good with my compressor (to get rid of the stuff that still managed to get on it even with a box covering it!)

Try looking for a large baking tin with the snap-on plastic cover next time you are at the supermarket, wal-mart etc. I have had good results with these, since out here in Arizona the dust is horrible.

I use a large plastic container with an air tight cover. Not perfect but the good thing is it's cheap and durable.

You are right Richard, it's in the ReaderTips section of the April issue of FSM. Boy, senior moments are frustrating. I knew I read this tip somewhere. But, I had no idea where.

Now I have to remember to buy some........

Thanks for the help.
