4. סעטאַפּ און צוגרייטונג

4.1 ייבערפלאַך צוגרייטונג

Before applying the primer, ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or mold release agents. Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 600-1000 grit) to remove any major imperfections and create a slight tooth for better adhesion. Clean off any sanding dust thoroughly.

4.2 Thinning (for Airbrush Application)

For airbrush application, the primer must be thinned. Use only Tamiya Lacquer Thinner for dilution. Do not use acrylic thinners or water, as these are incompatible and will cause the primer to thicken or separate.

• Recommended Ratio: A common starting point is a 1:1 ratio of primer to thinner. Adjust as needed based on your airbrush and desired consistency.
• מיקסינג: Mix the primer and thinner in a separate mixing cup. Stir thoroughly until a uniform, smooth consistency is achieved.

CAUTION: Always mix in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate PPE.

5. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס

5.1 Brush Application

For small areas, scratches, or fine detail work, the primer can be applied directly from the bottle using a modeling brush.

1. Stir the primer gently in the bottle before use to ensure consistent pigment distribution.
2. Dip a clean modeling brush into the primer, wiping off excess on the bottle rim.
3. Apply a thin, even coat over the target area. Avoid applying too thickly, as this can obscure details and prolong drying time.
4. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying additional coats if necessary. Multiple thin coats are preferable to one thick coat.

5.2 Airbrush Application

For larger surfaces or a smoother finish, use an airbrush with properly thinned primer.

1. Ensure your airbrush is clean and functioning correctly.
2. Pour the thinned primer into the airbrush cup.
3. Set your airbrush pressure to a suitable level, typically between 15-25 PSI, depending on your equipment and desired spray pattern.
4. Apply the primer in light, even passes, maintaining a consistent distance from the model surface. Overlap each pass slightly to ensure full coverage.
5. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat to prevent pooling and loss of detail.
6. Allow each coat to flash dry (become tacky) before applying the next.

6. Drying and Curing

Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer is fast-drying, but proper curing is essential for durability and optimal adhesion of subsequent paint layers.

• Touch Dry: Typically within 10-20 minutes, depending on humidity and temperature.
• איבערמאָלן צייט: Allow at least 30 minutes to 1 hour between coats.
• גאַנץ היילונג צייט: For best results, allow the primer to cure for a full 24 hours before sanding or applying topcoats. This ensures maximum hardness and adhesion.

NOTE: Drying times may vary based on ambient temperature, humidity, and coat thickness.

7. וישאַלט און רייניקונג

7.1 רייניקונג מכשירים

Immediately after use, clean all brushes and airbrush equipment with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner or a dedicated lacquer cleaner. Do not allow the primer to dry in your tools, as it will be difficult to remove.

• ברושעס: Rinse thoroughly in lacquer thinner, then wash with soap and water. Reshape bristles and allow to dry.
• Airbrush: Flush the airbrush with lacquer thinner until clear. Disassemble and clean individual components as needed, paying close attention to the nozzle and needle.

7.2 פלאַש סטאָרידזש

Ensure the bottle cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the primer from drying out or evaporating. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources.
