Trying to get stuff done when all you want to do is sleep!
So the past 3 days, i have been fighting off my yearly fight with chronic bronchitis. The chest is congested and I am coughing up some pretty stuff. Everyday I try to grab a nap when I can to get some extra sleep to combat this so I can operate at at least 85% for the Yuma trip.
I was asked a question about the GW style primer.
What happened to the old stuff? The new formula that came out about 2 years ago has been a thorn in everyones side since it came out. It takes a lot longer to dry, but has a lesser chance to "chalk" if the primer gets used in less than optimum settings (like Arizona summers) The new primer stays wetter longer, but does provide a better base coat that masks less detail than the old stuff.
Do I wish I still had the older stuff? - Oh hell yeah. The matte varnish I have is the old stuff, and for speed painting the old stuff was the best, but now, I just have to make sure that models are assembled and ready to go, and then prime models during breaks from painting already primed models. I haven't had time or the room to prime here, because my priming times would be about 2 pm, the hottest part of the day here in Phoenix, so I have resolved to prime at night on Fridays.
Tomorrow I will prime up what I have assembled, and then concentrate on assembling all of the models for the Yuma trip. Also have a planned trip to storage on Saturday to get lamps and tables for the trip.
