I just wanted to share something I’ve learned about plastidip over the last year.
I have had both amazing results from plastidip as a sealer and complete disasters from it. On many occasions I have had plastidip spit out blobs that would make for a major eye soar on my foam builds. It baffled me that some would be fine and others not, just flat out not. Now I always soak my cans in warm water before use and make sure it is not too cold before apply. I was wracking my brain as to why some cans are great and others are not. This weekend I found the answer.
All the cans I purchased at our local Home Depot spray sputter out. No matter how warm or anything. The cans I purchased at Walmart give me a flat perfect spray every time. I know it comes down to storage techniques or something like that (maybe Home Depot exposes them to harsher elements causing clumping in the cans, I don’t know). All I do know if if you get plastidip that sprays blobs out no matter what you do try buying from another source. Now that I have figured this out my life will be way easier. I just wanted to share to maybe save some of you a headache..
Here is a pic of what I am talking about.
