Have you ever used Stynylrez? How does it compare?

@@stinkyham9050 It is the same primer ;)

[@dave8229]

Absolute wonderful product, its quick setup by just follow the instruction as printed. Direct usage (doesn't need thinner unlike other brands), odorless and viola, the kit is primed, where you could move on to continue next kit. just refill and primed, Cleanup process on our airbrush is routine. I have observe AMMO product, there is lots of well define thoughts on its product when it presented to the mass (hobbyist), I must say great work from the AMMO team to help scale modellers achieve task more quickly with their products, this create a more inclusive environment to encourage more to take up this hobby. Well thought process! Wonderful!

[@coolister3852]

Its a great primer but not so easy to clean airbrush after.

[@statoilbensin2190]

All primers are harder to clean because they are much thiccer.

[@statoilbensin2190]

Btw I found out that mild acetone free nailpolishremover (etyl acetate) was better than normal mild airbrush cleaners to clean off this primer.

[@svensvensson2724]

I use acetone to clean all paints.

Hi Mig team. Firstly Im huge fan of Mig products that's why I decided give a try one shot black. Usually I use Mr hobby or enamel based AK primers, absolutely no problem at all spraying. 1)Sprayed on 1/35 big model so I refill 3 times. a) I followed recommended instructions with pressure and used cheap 0.4 airbrush b) first run went smoothly, second problems with tip dry and clogged airbrush end, third - virtually impossible, all clogged. Somehow I manage finish spraying and save airbrush. Very difficult to clean up after. No problems whatsoever with My Hobby and AK (refill and clean up) 2)Surface when dry looks grainy, almost like sandpaper and need smooth down. 3) Please advise. Wrong product or Im doing something wrong. Btw all model was cleaned before spraying using alcohol wipes and dry.

[@AMMOofMIGJIMENEZ]

Good morning Pawel, It is important that the One Shot primer is shaken thoroughly before use. From your explanation it sounds as though the primer may be sitting in-between coats and as you are working on a large model, it may need a shake before adding to the airbrush. Regarding the texture, this does not sound normal for the One Shot primer. Please can we ask that you send an image of this texture to: [e-mail] ? In this way we can take a look at the images with our team to identify the cause of the issue, Thank you so much, AMMO Team

I use this primer two years. Quality of this primer varies by bottle. Same airbrush, same pressure. Sometimes it just sprays out of bottle. Sometimes it chokes nozzle and not sprays without thinner

[@AMMOofMIGJIMENEZ]

Good afternoon Igor, We recommend using a 0.3mm or larger nozzle to prevent any blockages, and we do not recommend thinning the primer as this can effect it's properties. It is important the primer is thoroughly shaken before use, as if it is left sitting for a period of time it's components can temporarily separate. This may be causing your issue of clogging. Alternatively, you may be working with too much in the cup of the airbrush, which with acrylics can cause some small particles of paint to dry in the cup and cause a blockage. Please know if you continue to have an issue we are always happy to support you, you can contact us about any problems via email, and we will be waiting to help, Thank you so much, AMMO Team

[@igorarchibassov7551]

@@AMMOofMIGJIMENEZ Thank you for your answer. I use Iwata Revolution CR with 0,5 mm nozzle for priming. And yes, I shake the bottle before use. What do you mean - not too much paint in the cup? How many is this "not too much"? Usually i fill about 2,5-3 ml of primer.

[@AMMOofMIGJIMENEZ]

@@igorarchibassov7551 Good morning Igor, We recommend working with several drops at a time to prevent the risk of any primer drying inside the airbrush. You also mentioned that sometimes you are able to spray without issue and sometimes you have a problem: it may be possible that in the incidents where you could not spray: the airbrush had a blockage in the nozzle that needed cleaning. As a final recommendation based on the information you have provided, the One Shot Primer has a slightly higher recommended pressure than our normal acrylics: you may find your experience improves at a pressure of 2 Bar (30 PSI.) Please if you continue to have an issue do not hesitate to contact us via email to: [e-mail] In this way we can help more quickly and efficiently with any trouble shooting, Thank you, AMMO Team

[@thekinksfan5102]

I have had the same experience, some bottles don't even look right, the primer is streaky inside the bottle and cannot be mixed properly. And the thickness also varies. This one shot is actually badger stynylrez, made in the USA. Its known that some people experience issues when spraying. Ultimate Modelling Products also sells the same stuff, labeled as ultimate primer.

[@sardbr6335]

Silly question: is it enough to shake the bottle well? Or should I try stirring and adding a metal ball inside?

[@TXGRunner]

Even with .4 tip, I had constant clogging and build-up with 25-30psi. I just bought a .6 tip for my Harder & Steenbeck Evolution, so I will try that.

[@catfeeder5306]

Did you manage to have a go with the 0.6? I had the same problems as you with the 0.4.

[@TXGRunner]

@@catfeeder5306 no, I’m sorry I haven’t been able to yet. I moved about 2 months ago and I still don’t have anything setup yet to get back to work on the models. In fact, over six weeks passed before they shipped the new parts I ordered (they did advise me there was a back order), so I only received it 2 days before I moved.

[@statoilbensin2190]

Really? You could have saved a lot of money by simply thinning it down with a suitable acrylic thinner or plain water. Sometimes they are too thick when produced and need additional thinning.

[@michaelbaker2552]

I could not get any of it through a 0.3 so I would go at least 0.4 or 0.5. I switched to the Vallejo and had great results.

[@kiethpederson7558]

Worst primer I've used unless I'm doing something wrong. I spray about 25-30 PSI and every time I spray it goes good for about 1 pass and it just clogs up with no tip dry I'm not sure why I can't even clean the airbrush out sometimes

[@sardbr6335]

I have the same problem that you described

[@AMMOofMIGJIMENEZ]

Good morning Keith, We are always happy to support you with any issues or with trouble shooting. From your description it sounds as though you may be leaving primer in the cup between passes which can cause a blockage.

@@AMMOofMIGJIMENEZ okay so I can be getting ready to spray a project I'll have a clean airbrush nothing in it.I put some one shot in starting to spray get a couple passes it's good then a little start to sputter I look at the tip it's relatively nothing on the tip of the needle. So then I proceed in absolutely nothing comes out it just doesn't want to even move I can turn the pressure up I can send it even though you're not supposed to I'm just trying not to see if it'll run me to the situation of it being clogged nothing I literally have to dump the primer out of the cup pull the needle back spray some air clean it with cleaner put the Needle back in and repeat and it just gets clogged again. one thing I can mention is that it happens with stynelrez ,and .Vallejo.so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong I don't believe so I've been airbrushing for years I've never had any of these issues only with acrylic paints in general but mostly these primers which stinks because I like them I want to get away from the harsh lacquer base stuff. One other thing it seems to happen more prominently with black as I really haven't tried the white as much or the gray but black seems to be the problem even with flow improver still have no luck I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle or what. For the most part all of the ammo all the paints I have a spot on have no issues

[@kiethpederson7558]

Also I'm using a harder steenbeck with a .4 needle nozzle setup

[@statoilbensin2190]

The clear is perfect for clear parts on model kits because you can still see the moulded coloured parts so they are easier to mix accordingly after priming. The green version is wery good as a base for all millitary stuff and black for pre shadeing and white for fadeing.

Do i have to use fully depressed trigger? I initially used little primer with a lot of air in order to achieve thin layers and I've got severe clogging of the airbrush after 2-3 minutes. I used Harder&Steenbeck Revolution with 0.4 duse, 2 bar. One shot primer black. Could you please advise what I was doing wrong? Thanks!

Good morning Mihai, From your description it sounds as though you were not pulling the needle back far enough, and that this could be causing some of the One Shot to dry in the airbrush and cause a blockage. In this case we recommend that you pull the needle and trigger back further to see if this improves your experience.

I used .3mm nozzle and poured straight from the bottle at 25 psi and it kept clogging. What am I doing wrong?

[@spartakusbund1916]

I have the same problem with all water-based acrylic paints. Probably there are two solutions. First of all you can try to add some amount of thinner and flow improver. Second - stop using water based paints and go for alcohol based, like Tamiya, Mr color. These paints flows perfectly without any problem, that have water based paint. One big problem with tamiya/mr color paints is small paint chart, as a result - you should mix paints to achieve the color you want. p.s.: If anyone has better solution you are welcome to tell us how to avoid clogging.

[@statoilbensin2190]

I also use 3. mm but I have no problem. I think youre airbrush is already dirty so thats why it clogs fast. Take it apart and clean it accordingly or buy a better airbrush.

@@jantimmer5558 I follow the pressure on the bottle, and use it straight. The needle need to be big, I used a 0.5 on my old Badger 150, but in the end, I bought a Iwata Neo Trn1 with a 0.35 needle, it is perfect to apply large quantities (for model) like these primers. It is also important to wait 24 hours before sanding or using enamel or oil, to have an hard dry surface. And for the old cap, I don't bother with it anymore, the cup of the Trn1 is large enough to accept the unscrewed bottle.

[@perelapera]

Hola buenas, quería algún consejo para que no se atasque el aerografo. Tengo el primer shot negro con un aerografo de 0.3.

[@AMMOofMIGJIMENEZ]

Buenas tardes, Con One Shot Primer recomendamos trabajar con pequeñas cantidades de imprimación cada vez. Esto evita que la imprimación se seque en la copa del aerógrafo y pueda causar un bloqueo. También se puede aumentar ligeramente la presión cuando se trabaja con One Shot en comparación con nuestros otros acrílicos. Recomendamos trabajar con 1.5 -2.0 Bar. No dudes en ponerte en contacto con nosotros siempre estamos encantados de ayudarte en [e-mail] Gracias, Equipo AMMO

[@amerpashapasic9430]

New type (with black lids) will clog much much easier than older ones with yellow caps... BUT... after I sprayed tiny bit of Vallejo AB cleaner thru the clean brush (as much as I can clean it), spray One Shot in 5ml cup (so about 3ml paint per session), as soon as out, spray some AB cleaner thru it - then add another 3-4ml primer and off you go - rinse and repeat - I finally got a proper result... primer is going out like crazy, one bottle seems not to be enough for 3 1/35 tanks but it's still holding the surface like crazy after applied correctly... Why are they so touchy in the past year or so? I don't remember it clogging so easily with older yellow bottle lid...

What's it's character? Water base or alcohol base? Acrylic or something else? Has good scratch-resistance? Same as mig acrylic paint?

[@thekinksfan5102]

This primer is actually the same as Badger Stynylrez, just with a different label and bottle. In my experience it is very scratch resistant, dries very fast. It's acrylic, practically odourless, water based, but you can thin it with a thinner containing alcohol, if needed.

Sounds like perfect primer to replace current using Gunze mr.clear. Much obliged for your decent reply:)

[@thekinksfan5102]

@@stevenH3427 no worries, glad if that was of some help. Gunze clear, if I'm not mistaken is lacquer based, so compared to that, you can experience some tip dry & blocking. But that is an issue with most water based acrylics.

For tip drying, I personally keep a damp Q Tip nearby and wipe the needle every so often. Hopefully this helps.
