                        Model Masters Enamel ?'s Hardener?
                        Posted by Sproket on Sunday, March 1, 2009 12:42 PM

                        Im painting a canopy and it has been 2 days since I applied my base coat of white which was over primer.

                        Can I sand the enamel base coat? I do see a small piece of lint.

                        Im going to apply another coat of base as well. Can these model master enamels be sanded? They feel hard when dry but if I leave my finger on it to long it gets tacky.

                         

                        The model master white base enamel is from a spray can. I will airbrush the rest.

                         

                        Thanks

                        Gloss or flat. Gloss, I'd let it set a week. Flat, you can sand it in an hour.

                        What is the temperature where you sprayed it and where it is drying?

                        If it is too cold it can take a long time to dry. 

                        Move it to the warmest place possible and if you sprayed it very thick expect it to take a lot longer to dry.

                        The spray can says MM enamel #2943 Bright white.

                         

                        I live in AZ and very dry here. Its 75 degree during day and colder 70 at night in the room. The canopy is in a room that get no air blown into it, so its in a low dust place.

                        I really like the colors MM has for enamels.

                         Is there a hardner I can use to mix with before I spray the enamel?? Do you have a name?

                        Thanks
