Hi Everyone.
I like to experiment with primers and came across one I had not seen, so I got it and watned to share my experience with it.
This is Krylon Home Decor Durable Primer in a can that mimics (but is slightly smaller than) the typical Krylon light grey primer. Reading the label leads you to believe this will be a lacquer based cellulose primer, (except for the part about soap and water overspray removal).
I shot it on some cardboard and that seemed fine. I sprayed this on a series of figures in two light passes like I always do and found to my shock that the next morning the crap had dried like badly textured acrylic! Apparently this IS a water based product ( I thought I felt drops of cold water on my skin as I sprayed, similar to the Krylon H20 series paints). When it dried it was a mass of ripples and puddling, not at all like the other primers I have used over the last 20 years.
Anyway watch out for this product, it will not behave like our common primers we are accustomed to. It comes off easily with a soak in Ammonia (another clue to its acrylic foundations). It may work well for groundwork, etc, but not for figures or for fine paintjobs.
Have a good one.
David
