Another excellent product to match the necessary techniques of model making. Much better than priming with paint which can cover up detail plus improve adhesion.I'm in the process of studying your line for a preliminary order. Can you refer me to a video on you plastic primer. Thanks.
Be advised, it has a fair amount of surface tension so it can fill up stuff like railings on a ship where it bridges the gap between rails. Its hard to remove and see since its clear. I bought it specifically for this and stopped using it as it gave me more problems that before. On flat surfaces its fine
To combat this, simply use much less of the product, and pop excess film forming in the openings of fine parts on the go with a fine brush, it will be fine. I had the same problem while painting photo etched meshed engine screens with grey vallejo air paint - had to manually pop the paint so the screens were clear of it as I applie too much paint. It's a matter of technique used, not the product. :) Happy modelling, Chris
Was thinking of using the metal prep for the metal tracks. Would that work as well? And yes I’m aware you have a solution where the tracks darken when submerged in track darkening.
If you were going to paint the tracks then yes. But if you were going to blacken using our solution (blue fluid) then Metal Prep would block the chemical reaction acting as a barrier between metal and bluing fluid. So painting, yes, bluing/blackening no. Chris
I just got my VMS Metal Prep 4k on the mail, will this melt plastic? Must I prime the photo etched surface and then paint it shortly after once dry or will it last if I prime it today and paint it a month from now?
Hi guys, will the VMS Metal Prep work on white metal? E.g. Corvus Belli's Infinity or North Star's Silver Bayonet line (Or old Citadel "pewter" minis)?
@@Vmssupplies Word, thanks for such awesome products. I finally made it through my old 50 mL of your varnishes and just put in a new order with Burbank's House of Hobbies for the great big XXL ones (literally why I was watching these videos!). Such FLAWLESS finishes with your product. Are they polyurethane, or just acrylic resin?
Well I'll have to give it a go. I should had wanted to do better in science and learn chemistry 🤡 nah; I liked chasing girls 🤪 great stuff Chris. I tell everyone I know about your stuff. But I still would have loved everything you have 50 years ago. 🤣🤣🤣 God bless
Thanks Clayton, much appreciated. You know there is never to late to catch up, and chasing girls ain't that bad an idea either.😁 When I was a kid we had virtually no modelling supplies here in Poland, in 90s when the accursed CCCP finally buggered off and the borders opened we discovered Model Master and Humbrol, and boy what a change that was! Happy modelling, Chris

Thanks a lot! We don't offer plastic primers yet, sorry. Happy modelling. Chris
love these keep them up vms crew
Will do! Thanks a lot for your support Simon! Chris
@JonBius recommended your VMS Metal Prep primer for metal priming. Great video!
Wow, that's heartwarming knowing that Jon himself likes it! Thanks a lot for your kind feedback and happy modelling! Chris
Purchased! Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your trust and support! Chris

@@Vmssupplies ok, just thought I ask since everyone on UA-cam is using the tracking darkening technique instead of painting them.
@@danielaguirre2516 Sure, cool beans!
What do you use to clean primer brush ?
Any cleaner for acrylic paints such as VMS Cleaners Pro or equivalent will work.

Product will not react with plastic. You can paint whenever you want, no hurry. Happy modelling, Chris
Can Metal Prep 4k be airbrushed onto complex surfaces, or is it only suitsble for brushing?
Hello, guys spray it, so the answer is yes. 😀
debonder still work even if a accelerator was used on the CA?
Hello, Yes it will work regardless. :) Happy modelling, Chris

Hi there, Yes most likely, metal is metal. Chris

Chris nice informative video, but do we have have a pseudo American voice 😉 You can tell it's aimed at possibly your biggest market . 😊
It's just a nice sounding and universally understood, voice is all. Happy modelling, Chris
