Ugh...primer left a texture!
I primered my model, a 4 foot long scratchbuild, with krylon primer. It dried with a slightly Sandy texture to it. Not visible but you can feel it. I can't sand it down due to so much detail work. Is there some way to smooth it out, maybe with chemicals, without ruining the model?
Re: Ugh...primer left a texture!
Try rubbing it with a paper towel to remove the "fuzz" without damaging the details.

Today is a good day to model!

To late but SOP for Krylon......Tamiya is the best primer...I use Dupli-color #1699 too.
I'd try rubbing with a old cotton shirt......it will polish some.

You know those brown paper bags grocers used before going all plastic? Very, very fine sandpaper, that. Try it

Coffee filters work, too. New ones, that is. Used ones will leave a brown stain on your model.Dukat, S.G. wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 2:24 pm You know those brown paper bags grocers used before going all plastic? Very, very fine sandpaper, that. Try it
