Richard Prager Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 I've been using Polytranspar Super Hide but it is just too thin. Shoots great but doesn't give a real solid opaque coat. I bought some Createx White and reducer which I don't like using. I have had trouble with Createx White clogging my gun in the past but it covered great.I wonder if i can just mix the 2 whites together? I don't reduce anything but Black... Somebody enable me and tell me it should not be a problem mixing the 2 together. Both are water based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Richard, I shoot Superhide White in multiple coats, usually 2-3, until I get the cover quality I want. It dries quicker than most other paint so multiple coats are pretty much a continuous process. The fast drying quality makes it unlikely that subsequent coats or a hair dryer will push it around on the surface of the lure, which is a big plus to me. I haven't found a better cover white. In my experience, there's no airbrush paint that is so "homogenized" as Createx, so mixing it with any other brand gives you something that is less stable. That said, as far as mixing Superhide with Createx, I've not had a problem with that and use it often as a base for formulating other colors. However, they do have slightly different chemistries so the mixed paint will occasionally separate during storage. But it shakes back to the desired color/consistency pretty quick without forming anything to clog my airbrush so no harm, no foul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks, BobP..Yeah, it does dry quick. The createx does take a long time to dry. I'll tell you one thing, the Super Hide lasts forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Mixed just fine...thanks again, BobP! No cloggingand made enough of a difference to where it should require just the one coat. Based 6 baits easily.....backwashed, pulled and wiped the needle as usual between colors without any extra effort! I'm happy!
