Cami Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Guys, lastly I found a method to avoid the immediate chipping trouble that occurs immediately after the airbrushing process on soft baits. As already recommended by some Masters here in TU, I clean the plastic surface with polivinylic alchool and, after it's dried, I spray the acrylic color with my airbrushing pen. The new thing for me is that I've previous mixed the acrylic color with a muliuse medium in a fifty/fifty percentage and thinning all with few drops of glassex. In such way if you touch the dried soft bait with your hands, the color resists on it, but if you try to scratch it with your nails, then it takes over. Of course if you cover all painted surface with a quick dipping in clear plastisol, then all drawings will be protected, but I'm looking for something else easier to apply on soft bait surface, something to spray on it. I read a thread in which someone of You Guys described this solvent: METILETILCHETONE (MEK), known as Butanone, and you suggested to mix this solvent to the paint. Does a commercial (international) spray exist to fix and protect the acrylic painted film on soft plastic? Is there a commercial spray which contains MEK? Any idea/suggestions will be really appreciated. Bye. Cami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 not sure if it will help , but they make a clear paint that maybe could be sprayed over the colors?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Jeff, thank you for your help, but when you say "they", who do you refer to? Which one clear paint are you thinking? For instance plastivel and plastidip don't agree with plastisol (I've already ruined some jigs with these finishing covers, leaving on them their soft trailers). Bye.
