Createx Headaches

[Ed White]

I'm curious to hear about the acrylic primer, I use Bins and love the fill and finish after sanding, hate dealing with flammable solvents in my garage, would love to go acrylic for priming.
As for the etex pitting, some Createx colors just do that, and only experience has shown me which ones.....Pearl silver and gold being the biggest bastards for me. As you said, a coat of clear before etex works to mitigate that problem.

I had huge problems with epoxy sticking to a krylon clear coat over createx. I spoke to System three and they advised me to eliminate the clear spray coat. That helped a lot although system three is still prone to fisheye.

One of the great things about plugbuilding....what works to solve a problem for someone just creates a boatload of trouble for someone else

I ALWAYS have problems with Fluorescent Krylon, anything but fluorescent works fine mixing with other colors, acrylics, etc, the bright orange, green or or any other fluorescents never play well with other colors, even the same brand. Rustoleum Fluorescents work better but still have some problems. They take a long time to cure as well.

There is also something about the color Yellow that has adhesion problems. On both my Large Format and Laser printers (i have a printshop) both heat activated and pressure sensitive laminates will not stick to large fields of printed yellow. I have no idea why. I have to spray clear fixative on yellow prints before laminating.
