Primer TIP Idea


This is just an idea, it may not work for everybody- 

The red nozzle on the Duplicolor Filler Primer can be turned.
The picture shows it flipped 90 degrees to spray in a horizontal "line".

Normally you'd want it turned up (standing on the small end) for a wider sweeping spray coat.


With the red nozzle turned on it's side (as shown above) you can direct the primer in a line right down the body tube seams. While the picture shows the primer just on the seams, you should still do an overall coat on the body tube. Spraying in a fine line concentrating on the seams will fill them after sanding off the dried primer/filler.

This works best on larger diameter body tubes, BT-55 and up. On small tubes it's harder to spray on the tighter wrapped seams.

Before primer spraying, I still fill and sand the seams smooth using CWF.
