Silo1688 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've repainted a couple a large muskie baits for a customer and I normally dip or brush on the MCU. This however due the shear size I would like to spray it! My area is well ventilated for this as I've been taking great precautions. So now to the million dollar question.... What do you all use to thin down the MCU? I'm going to try a few of drops of acetone? Anyone used this approach? Keeping on spray top coats, to those who have used this.... what's your opinion and results in using the spray version outdoor spar urethane with UV protection? Thanks in advance. --George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 When I spray DN I use somewhere close to a mix of 20% acetone. I spray it with a Paasche airbrush using their mid-sized nozzle. Can't help you with the spar urethane. Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 What do you guys use to clean your ab after spraying DN, or any other MCU? Same thing I use to thin it. Acetone. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering trying to spray DN instead of dipping but am wary about the acetone causing issues with the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Mark, I thoroughly dry each layer of paint (Createx, Wicked, Auto Air) with a heat gun and haven't had any problems spraying DN cut with acetone. I have no way of proving it, but it's my belief that most of the acetone flashes off before it ever reaches the bait your painting.
