Came across an interesting video on the use of Vallejo Primer, some of you may find this interesting.

I have a brand new bottle of the 200ml grey primer just sitting there, unused, as I've had so many issues with Vallejo primers (and paints) in the past that I completely stopped using the line. This video certainly makes me want to give it another try.

Thanks for sharing!

I have switched to nothing but Vallejo, I had to learn some to use it, like air pressure down to 12 lbs on my gage to air brush with it. Also found most problems with the primer is putting it on to thick and to fast.

Had to switch since I no longer wanted the problem of cleaning the airbrush out due to oil base paints. Now a quick rinse in the sink and done.

Here's a recent thread that I found very helpful:

Weird Airbrush Problem

Vallejo Thinner and Liquitex Airbrush Medium (as needed) solved many of my airbrushing issues. I also use a 'Grex Micro Air Control Valve' for on-the-fly pressure changes.

Note: Always test first and never trust "strait out of the bottle" claims.
