Army Painter Spray Primer/Basecoat Problem

[Cubster]

It is. It only gets awkward when you start getting into stupidly high/low temperatures.

Al you loon, that's barking!

F 32 = C 0
F 40 = C 4
F 50 = C 10
F 60 = C 16
F 70 = C 21
F 80 = C 27
F 90 = C 32
F 100 = C 38

Your system is about as accurate as James Hook's goal kicking!

As far as I understand it the conversion is either:

times nine, divide by five, add thirty two for C to F
and
divide by nine, times five, minus thirty two for F to C

Ah sorry that is a no-goer then - although I have no idea what fahrenheit values are. Centigrade were what we were taught at school, with 25C being a hot day.

Only because I vacation lots in California and Florida do I know Fahrenheit. Being Canadian, we were also taught the metric system.

25 would be in high 70s - shorts on; 59 is at the edge of shorts weather for me.

We have Canadian friends who visit us every January. They are from Moose Jaw and they chide us about our sensitivity to "cold" temperatures -- which is quite a bit different from their definition of "cold". Evenings in January here require a warm jacket and long pants for us and short sleeves and shorts are adequate for them. Of course, being Canadian, they usually have plenty of anti-freeze in their systems to ward off the chill. Of course, I do as well, but it doesn't seem to help.

However, staying on topic...I never spray Army Painter paint at night when it hits 59.

I found the same thing in Israel. Their version of a cold day was just right for me. On the other hand 45C (113F if I have calculated that right) is way too hot.

Just noticed on the army painter black primer spray it suggests always trying on 1 model first ...  not something I have done before, but well worth remembering for the future!

Quick Q - used both the leather brown and the black AP sprays last night, in a well-heated garage (at least, it was after about 30 mins convector use); the brown sprayed fine ('til I ran out), but the black (which I haven't used before) was much more "gloopy" - I was concerned enough to wipe some back from a few of the minis, which were already a bit low on the detail front to begin with. The can was well shaken (any more, and I'd've been looking for an olive), and the nozzle was clear. Is this commonplace - different colours having different thicknesses/consistency? I was wondering about the new "Barbarian Flesh" colour, but might stick with the Lthr Brown instead ...

I have found that some of the colours have performed slightly differently - not gotten the "gloopy" effect with AP, but have with other paints. I have waited, and found the running and then evaporating that occurs usually is enough to take the stress of the blobby mini away, but wiping away excess can't hurt.
