20mm "The Ranch" Wraith part III

 



                Problems. I rattled canned my Cougars. Something didn't mix or did mix? The reaction is a sticky primer. I tossed the can and tried ultra flat black. Sticky. Its not the can as the board they sit on is dry and not sticky.

                In case the resin was melting, I UV-ed them for 2 hours. No change. Then took mineral spirits to them. The resin is not melting. Its the rattle can reacting with something on the Cougars.

                AP DA green. Warmed the can, good old shaking, sticky. Board not sticky. Different brand. Different material. First Cougars were resin poured. 2nd group resin printed. 

            I went after them with mineral spirits before ordering all new and throwing them out. Good new, mineral spirits does not melt UV resin. Only part of the rattle can came off. That which came off was easy. Qtips with enough rubbing to destroy them.


            The cans must be old. Its the same for both tan, black and AP DA. The paint, I guess, stratified. The black is the only one I kept. It went on to resin prints and metal minis with no issue. 


            I let them dry over night. Then hit them with flat black rattle can. Perfect!

            And the resin pour FUBAR. Exactly the same process and primer. They are melting! Straight to the trash.

        And Done. One for the Elko Sheriff's department and 2 or the Wraith's Mraps
