Spraying future over removable parts
Posted by model lover on Saturday, August 25, 2018 7:04 AM

I'm building a model with removable parts, will airbrushing future over them while they are connected to the model cause them to stick to it. Or will there be no problem.

To be safe, I’d spray each removable part separately.

Ditto While the parts may well come away, you might well have a raised edge.

What do you mean a raised edge.

What do you mean a raised edge.

 

Meaning if you sprayed with removable parts on the model, after it dries, any attempt to separate your removable parts will be stuck together, thus causing a raised edge. 

Thats why it’s best to spray them separately.

And, all that acrylic which formed the "raised edge"; didn't go where it was supposed to go. There'll be bare spots. Future is thin, and if you do need to remove it, go at it with a q-tip dipped in Windex (ammonia).

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
