yellowdawg Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 just got a new supply of paint from columbia coatings and I can't get the neon pink or neon yellow to float. All I get is dust clouds the neon green isn't much better but it is manageble. anyone got any ideas on how to fix this don't want to send it back i need the colors and bought a pound of each. it is no good to me if I can' make it float right. any help would be great.

cadman Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I assume you are referring to this problem in a fluid bed correct? If so try different fluid bed media. That may solve your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jig Man Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I'm not sure what you mean by dust clouds but if it is massive volcanos then try turning down the air fow. My white went crazy today and I had to cut the air to just barely a bitty bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbrushextreme Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 the neon colors are really light in weight compared to other colors I normally dip mine and they do great but if you are using the fluid bed turn the air way down and dont add as much product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weighinalimit Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 yes I mean fluid bed. have tried vaccum bags brown paper bags any other ideas?thanks One thing that's helped me alot...commercial fluid beds have a vibrator motor in them, I put my homemade fluid bed on my scroll saw & turn it on then adjust the airflow for each paint. I think the vibration shakes the paint & helps prevent volcano formation. I'm not toadfrog lol but that's one of my "nutty ideas" and it works!
