| SteveM | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 16-Mar-11 22:17 |  | | Views : 2452 | | I mentioned the problem I had with this primer to a friend and he said it was either too cold or I didn't shake the can enough. It was above the minimum reccomended temperature so I shook the can till my arm was tired and tried again. As you can see, the effort was worth it. |

Later I realized it was for polycarbonate RC car shells, but it didn't hurt the extra engine nacelle I tested it on, just took a lot of coats to get good color. |
