I agree with your methods for airbrushing dry times. When using a rattle can I read the instructions. With time and experience we all tend to develop our own system
Great video, glad you mentioned dehydrators. I use one as well, but I use acrylic paint so some of the cure times are a bit different. No matter what, your advice to not be in too much of a rush is the best we should follow. I appreciate Fundamental Fridays!!
I have 3 of the Nesco dehydrators that I found at thrift stores. I figure one for bodies and another for warming paint. I got the third just for the extra rings. Plus having a spare never hurts.
I've considered a dehydrator more than once, but more often than not I end up spending days or weeks between painting a body and needing to handle it again. So I instead just make sure it's safe from dust and damage and let it go. Like you said, no rush.
hey old man do you do many semis and what is the best way to get your lines to match from one side to the other. love the videos keep them coming. table top big rig over and out.
Have you tried using Bob Smith Industrie's (BSI brand, like the CA I have often seen in your videos) Super-Gold + for putting in windows? Several modelers locally have started using it as it does not fog the clear plastic and dries clear even If you goof and get a little where it is visible (which you have to look to see it.) Thanks for the great videos and information.
Great tip. I’m looking to get a dehydrator. Will thIs work the same with clear coats? I know you work with enamel paints. What’s you opinion on clear coats. That’s where I f@&k up my bodies. Take care 👊🤘👍
Mike , I have never put a body in the dehydrator with the decals on it . However, I could see it happening as the heat would dry them out and cause them to flake off or crack ….
Great informative video Donn. You and Jake have a great weekend buddy. Terry
Great tutorial. This is very welcomed information. This is a subject I have seen a lot of questions being asked about. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome Don! Thanks for that info. I recently got back into hobby and was wondering about dry times.

Great information once again. Thanks, Don..
Thanks Again Sir, God Bless All 👍👍, Gary.
Very interesting Don. Thanks for the information. Ron
An old metal kitchen cabinet would suit your purpose . They can be found at yard sales and second hand stores at a very good price .
Great video! What about tester’s enamel paint out of the bottle that has been airbrushed? Thanks for sharing! Happy days and model on! 😎
What did you thin it with? Lacquer thinner? Mineral Spirits? That matters. Lacquer thinner accelerates dry times. Mineral spirits slows it down.
Do you have a digital download for your DVD series? Would much rather purchase a digital copy that I could access instantly.
At this time we do not….

Great tips, thank you.

Thanks for the great videos and information.
I use the gold for window installation . I use his medium viscosity for all other phases of building .
Mind if I ask, did you dry in 95° for 24 hours? And those kit are plastic?
Sorry I just want to make sure, because I wanna try with gundam model kit.

It will ! Apply your clear coats in light , continuous , mist coats until you have an overall smoothness and shine ….
I pretty much go with my old methods paint it and let go for a couple weeks sometimes a month, even though I admit I get into a rush sometimes
Hello,
Do use the dehydrator with your primer coats, or just finish coats, or both?
What’s the best advice for resin parts and a dehydrator? Just don’t or…? Thanks.
You can …. I would set the temperature at 95 degrees or less …..
@@ScaleModelTechniques okay thanks Don, I’m loving the videos 👍
@@ScaleModelTechniques 95 fahrenheit or celcius?
👍👍👍
Would a metal tool box work instead of a cabinet? I am on a tight budget. I only make one kit at a time. Thanks for your time and consideration.
Yes, anything you have that won't drop dust or r fibers on it.(cardboard). A clean 3or5 gal bucket would work if you are improvising
@@chucktaylor2772 thank you!
@@chucktaylor2772 so you dont need to heat it?
Have you ever had decals crack in the dehydrator?
Mike , I have never put a body in the dehydrator with the decals on it . However, I could see it happening as the heat would dry them out and cause them to flake off or crack ….
@@ScaleModelTechniques That is my worry....thanks for the info sir!
What model american harvester dehydrator do you use sir?
Nesco American Harvest Food Dehydrator & Jerky Maker model # FD-80
Hey Don,at the risk of sounding like a dummy could you explain what the pipe nipples are that you use to paint parts?
Black iron pipe nipples. They come in galvanized steel as well. Home Depot or Lowes sells them in different lengths.
@@njdevfan20 thanks
What about MCW Lacquer ???
The exact same process is used for their lacquer based paints …..
When using the dehydrator have you ever had you paint wrinkle on you?
No , sir . In fact , it will remove slight orange peal …
Can't take the background noise, gotta go
Please don't film with someone moving furniture around above you. Geez!
That wasn’t furniture being moved .. it was four pit rescues playing together upstairs .
