KcDano Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 There is a brand name "Autobody Masters" sold by many parts suppliers. I don't believe it is nitro, Acrylic. I think most of the paint jobbers still sell lacquer primer. Dupont sells lacquer primer under the Nason brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Don't know why u are looking for that but if you go to auto paint shops there's lots of substitutes available which I think are much better product with the advancement in polymer science. A product l like is urethrane primer and comes in white too. Fills voids and cures to a pretty hard surface, much harder then nitro stuff. Very good adhesion too.

woodieb8 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 the absolute best primer is by basf epoxy primer. i personally use lacquer primer due to cost efficiency. on plastics and metal basf epoxy primer is incredible. its a 2 part but cooked on chrome its indestructable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The LMM Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Try Polyester filler/primers. They contain high solids that fill sanding scratches & surface pinholes. They can be sanded, and polished to a semi-gloss. When preparing a master plug for mold making. They can take the place of final gel coats. Unlike epoxies & Urethanes; this material cures to a hard working surface in a matter of minutes. This and other lure design solutions can be found at: The Lure Makers Magazine. Reference: About Gel Coats in the READ ME Section. Or; visit http://fiberglast.com for primer/surfacers and a myriad other lure making materials.

The LMM Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 To correct over-cuts when carving balsa & other wood lure making materials; use automotive spot putty. Spot putty can also be applied to create micro-detail on the lure surface. Spot puty can be found in all auto paint supply stores, and most auto parts stores. This and other lure making solutions can be found among the 300+ pages of The Lure Makers Magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KcDano Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Lapala, I am interested in knowing more about the urethane primer. If you could be so kind to impart a little more info regarding the primer you are using. I have been hesitant to use any of the 2-part primers because of waste and clean-up associated with them. Since you mention dipping, is this accomplished without reduction or thinning? Do you know if what you are using is available in the U.S. or if there is a similar product? Thanks Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I have a pic of the can here Name is Urethra 88, haven't use it for a long time though since switching to Swede's probinate stuff. I'll see if I can get more info for u when I got to the paint shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
