I'm also glad his fantastic help and information is still available. Donn's videos are my go to source whenever I have a question about something or can't remember.....which happens a lot anymore...Thanks again for keeping it here and still having DVDs available. God bless his family.
Hi Mr. Yost! Just wanted to thank you for your excellent tutoring. I am a female modeller, age 77, who simply loves this hobby! Thanks again! Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada
I'm glad he's still passing on his knowledge, I was puncturing the cans ,letting it gas off, then using it, didn't work worth a crap, way too much solvent, not enough pigment, so I'm gonna try this method, thank you to whoever is continuing to spread the late great Mr. Yost's knowledge about all things Plastic model kits 👍
This method is the safest and easy way to decant but you never get all of the paint out. Unfortunately the only way of getting all of it out is the puncture method which can be really dangerous but after getting most of it out this way the 2nd method is less risky as most of the propellant will be gone, but caution is still advised.
Yeah old man your right foam gasket in cap will melt from most solvents like lacquer! Your always on the the ball that's why I watch you! Have a great weekend!
Great way to decant the paint. Thanks for sharing Donn. I have a touch up cup just like that from when I had my body shop. Have a great weekend my friend. Terry
Don, you are NOT letting the solvents escape the decanted paint….you are allowing the PROPELLANT to escape. A fun thing to do would be to show your viewers what happens if you close the decanted paint jar up and shake it and then open it…..so folks don’t do it!
Liked and subscribed going to try and find you on Facebook to purchase your model painting dvd's I have a beautiful Tamiya PS 47 Irradesent Gold/pink flip flop paint on a 1970 Nova Primed with Tamiya light gray primer which was probably still too dark a primer but 5 nice coats it's really a cool color. Only available in the "PS" Polycarbonate paint so that's why the TS primer and ps paint then TS pearl Clear coat then a few Regular Tamiya Clear. Ughhh it's a process but looking beautiful so far
Gidday, this is an extremely well explained and thought out video, but i feel all this work is not required and over complicated. You can simply spray directly into the side of your airbrush cup(no straw needed!) and immediately straight onto the model. No waiting is required. This method works fantastic with the propellant still in the paint, even if the paint is still bubbling. Exactly the same as if sprayed from the can. The best place to keep paint is in the original spray can. I have done this 100's of times with fantastic results.... there is however some exceptions - primers and auto clears are a bit thicker and need some thinning in the cup with mr levelling thinner before spraying out of your airbrush. Keep up your interesting and informative videos.
I just a punch and slowly drain the pressure and pull the spray lid off the can. And empty the can with the marble with the paint. No spraying required.
What do you recommend for glue on painted and unpainted parts iam having some issues with testers glue not holding very well thanks again for all the tips
If all the pressure is gone shake the can well and use a screwdriver to pierce a hole in the can and drain out the paint. There are videos showing how to do that. DONT PIERCE A CAN THAT HAS PRESSURE !

Thanks for sharing your tips Donn. Have a great weekend.
That's a lot better than using a straw to decant paint. Thanks for sharing Donn 👍
These vids are so helpful Donn... thanks for the tips and helpful tricks... very useful...

Awesome, always looking forward for your Friday tips videos. Great procedure, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Nice way to decant paint. Much better than wrestling with drinking straws. Just wear your gloves and have ventilation. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Have a great weekend also.
Great video showed me a lot, since I’m going to try air brushing soon. Thanks
C😎😎 LLL Stuff Mr Yost 👍👍 God Bless You and All Yours 🤗🤗, Gary.
Thanks again, for your time and knowledge.
Another great video. Thanks Donn!
Great Video!!!! Thanks for sharing
I just a punch and slowly drain the pressure and pull the spray lid off the can. And empty the can with the marble with the paint. No spraying required.
I would just decant directly into the glass jar .. in some cases, straight into airbrush cup, the. Spray it. Works just fine~
Great video sir , would this method be good for acrylics?
Great tip. Do you ever thin your paint and do you sand your body's thanks
I do sand my bodies up to 12000 grit . I always thin my paint when airbrushing .
Do you add a little laqure thinner after setting 24 hrs?
Not really necessary, but you can . You’ll just have to be careful when laying down your coats due to the thinness of the clear .
@@ScaleModelTechniques Thanks Don, I've been building models for 30+ yrs love learning new stuff.
What do you recommend for glue on painted and unpainted parts iam having some issues with testers glue not holding very well thanks again for all the tips
I use medium viscosity super glue throughout the majority of a build . Windshield , rear and side glass pieces are installed with Plastruct Bondene ….
Hello good sir, loved the video on decanting paint but I was wondering how you go about it when there is no air left in can but some paint? Thank you
If all the pressure is gone shake the can well and use a screwdriver to pierce a hole in the can and drain out the paint. There are videos showing how to do that. DONT PIERCE A CAN THAT HAS PRESSURE !
@@dmgscalemodels2825 so I shake the can before piercing the can?
Don’t leave the lid on tight cause you’ll come back to a bottle that’s exploded
