Airfix Varneeseeeeeeeh

So what part of Do NOT spray over Enamel did he not understand...???????

If in doubt always test on a small piece of spare scrap first....you can hardly blame the manufacturer when they give you clear instructions...!!!

it seems they alterd the sprays ingrediants. I have used humrol gloss spray over enamels before

another guy sprayed his figures and ruined them too

Why market a varnish one can't spray over enamel paints? It's a trifle pointless based on most peoples' usage of enamels (assuming that what would eat enamel would also eat acrylic).

Is this post available in English?

Hmmm... my thoughts exactly. Suggest writing your post BEFORE having your Halloween party!!!

Also wondering what the point is? Is the post just having a bitch at Airfix, who clearly stated that the varnish shouldn't be used over paint? Or is there some useful pearl of wisdom somewhere in this post that I missed?

J.

have you ever bought a product for years then without making it very clear they alterd it?

Reminds me of once when Scale Auto Enthusiast changed the cover design. If it hadn't come to me in the mail I would have missed seeing it at the newsstand because of the extreme difference.

Back to the subject at hand: I got what Jules was saying. If the label looked almost exactly the same as before one might be forgiven for missing the warning. And I still see no value in marketing a product that is incompatible with the majority of your other finishing products.

guess not many people know i take a load of meds and English isnt my strong point, hell i cant often read my own posts.

Have to feel sorry for the guy who orange peeled his plane tho, used Humrol paints for years and i did know about they shipped to a new production country but that was some time ago.

No, I have to admit that this hasn't happened to me. And I sympathise with the guy who suffered the damage to his pride and joy.

But I ask what's the point of bitching about it on a newsgroup? A constructive warning to other modellers who may fall into the same trap is the way to go. After all, isn't this what a newsgroup is for? News, information, advise, tips, etc?

I wasnt bitching about as it hadnt affected me, i was saying what i heard straight from the horses mouth, dont like then dont read it.

ROTFLOL!
