Question about How to,clear coat

[bart8016]

Hi there.
I'm back after a few weeks of vacantion.

I've bought today Tamiya clear coat.

But how do I"ve to use it??

- Can you spray it over decals??
- What distance must there be between the model and the bottle??
- Do you have to heat the bottle up and for what period??

is it the x22 bottle or the spray. i use the bottle through a airbrush and its great i cover decals which have never crinkled or dissolved polishes well and i mix it with metholayted spirits around 60/40 and spray at 30psi. the can i have used and i heat up in hot water before spraying and works fine

- You can spray over decal, but first few coats should be very light. (Actually, you should never spray heavily, whatever the brand is.)

- About 20 - 30 cm, depending on how quickly you move the can, and how thick you want to apply.

- Not necessary for a new can, but you might want to warm it up if it start losing pressure after using it for a while. The time depends on the temperature of the water.
(Personally, I never have to heat Tamiya or Gunze, but I had to warm up the Testor after using 2/3 or so.)
