    Time is money. And trying to optimize post-processing is so critical when it comes to finishing 3d props. Really appreciate you!

    Great method for smoothing DWD. One suggestion I have for everyone is to use a tracer coat on the primer. It takes the guess work out of low spots and pin holes. Just get red or black primer and put a dust coat on top of your last coat of filler primer. When you start to sand, any high spots will burn through the tracer coat immediately, then any low spots will stay the tracer color. This is an old body shop trick that has been around for years. It really, really helps you get a great finish and no surprises when you go to paint.

    Tuning your printer would reduce the amount of work

    I just got done recommending aerosol primers to a forum member and first thing on my YT I see this video lol 😄.. U-POL does make good cheap stuff! We used to use Kombi at the Mannheim Auto Auction body shop department.

    Just make sure it's 100% sealed with laqure after your base coat! Being acrylic anything that touches it acetone, water ipa etc without ot sealed in it will reactivate and go soft and you could get a finger dint or print in it! I work with this stuff everyday it's grast for time and dry time but it jisy doesn't have that total curing mind at ease rigidity you'll find this with stuff if your making masks etc and wearing them out like some do with iron man masks haha! I work with this in my work as a body work specialist alot of pros and cons

    Are we not allowed to wet sand anymore when using this product since I saw in the comments, when it comes into contact with certain liquids it can go soft?

    Are you still recommending this product these days? Also, what are your thoughts about spraying this like your videos about spraying the bondo putty? Thanks!
