Using a spray can and humidity,what a nightmare!

[M.T.C.]

Well I tried using a can of Rust-o-lium to paint an old Bird of Prey for a friend,well I will tell you what a nightmare. I got the kit assembled for my friend and tried doing this yesterday when the humidity was high,well a word of advice,"Don't"!!!!

All the paint did was bubble and make small holes all over the entire kit. I managed to clean it up on the nacelles,but the entire top I had to strip and start again today,this morning.

Well I finally got it painted,I had to do it when the humidity was low,well 7:00 a.m. but I got it,Hurray!!!! Lets party,scratch that I going back to bed.Just want to let everyone know if you use spray,do it when there is no humidity or it will be a nightmare.

Now we know, and knowing is half the battle.

Wow, I don't use rattle-cans often, but I will be careful now.

Likewise, I only use spray cans on rare occasions, but when I do I use the Tamiya cans. They give the finest spray finish that I've ever seen from a can. But even they are not humidity proof!!!

always, always, ALWAYS check www.weather.com before you spray to see if the humidity in your area is low. Rule of thumb, if the humidity is greater than 65%, DON'T SPRAY, it won't cure!

In fact, don't even spray in the summertime unless you have a climate-controlled area...
