Out2gtcha Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I love the way Tamiyas spray cans work and lay down, its just that there is SO much particulate that come out, and SO little control, it's hard for me to use them for anything but general work. Decanting works well for me for the AB, but is a bit of a PITA. D.B. Andrus and CANicoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Never tried decanting a can. Would it be ok to store it in a used Tamiya 10ml jar? That would mean i could use it whenever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will take a while, patience needed. Be careful shaking decanted paint, it can make quite the mess. Ask me how I know. Stirring recommended.

Out2gtcha Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 A good way to tell if you have degassed enough is to stir the paint after decanting.......................if after a tiny bit little teeny tiny bubbles appear, its not done yet. I have in the past decanted a decent amount (usually through a straw to keep back spray down from shooting the rattle can directly into a cup - larger straw works good) into a sealable jar, and left the lid off overnight and checked it in the morning. You can always thin it back down if it gets too concentrated, but as was mentioned, do NOT seal up decanted paint if you are not 100% sure its degassed. AlanG, D.B.

It is more convenient tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought their new color 71.264, but it’s a medium green-tan color that looks nothing like the color shown in the photo of Do335 “105”. I ended up getting the original 71.043 color, which is a dark chocolate brown and more like the photo. Haven’t seen their 200 series RLM 82, but I’m happy with the old one 71.022. Just wanted to say, many thanks for the photo. I have hundreds of the 335, but not this one. Excellent color and light. Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
