cyber,
here are some shots of it.....
I primed put in the dehydrator for a bit
painted, dehydrated
clear, dehydrated
decaled, dehydrated
then cleared again.....cracked!
each time in the dehydrator about 15 min. each
This was never a problem when spraying tamiya laquer with tamiya clear.
Another problem that my wife said could have caused it is I measured my clear, and reducer in seperate shot glasses before sucking them up into my airbrush jar (i'm using an testors aztec brush).
I had some of the clear mix left in the jar from when I shot the first few coats of clear prior to decaling.
While the car was in the dehydrator I started working on the interior and only placed a peice of index card over the seperate shot glasses with the clear and reducer.
by the time I was ready to suck them into the jar, the reducer had turned to an almost solid jelly. I scraped it out of the glass, cleaned the glass with laquer thinner and poured fresh reducer into the glass.
I mixed the clear that had been sitting in its jar in the air for about an hour or so, and the fresh reducer to get my mix, then I poured the new mix in with the remainder of the mix in my AB jar.
Could the air have caused the clear to harden?
Should I have used fresh clear to mix with the fresh reducer?
Could mixing the new mix with the remainder of the already mixed parts caused a problem?
Most importantly, from the pictures, is there a way of fixing this without stripping it completely?
Thanks a million
Derrick
