deadwing34 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I was thinking that spray priming my models this Sunday might be a good day. Sunday is supposed to be a high of 61 with humidity of 65%. I would be priming in my garage. What are peoples thoughts, would those be ok conditions or hell no? I could alternately paint it on with a paint brush using the GW primer, but I am not sure how well that would work out when priming Rhino's. It works great for small models, not so sure about models with large flat surface areas like vehicles. Thanks again all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 65% humidity is starting to get into the danger zone in my experience. Like you say, tho, brush-on primer tends not to work too well on larger Models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'd agree with west, I know we are in the wet climate but I really try for no higher than 50%. Since you are using a garage I've had luck using a dehumidifier in the space for a few hours, opening the door to spray, then keeping it running while the dry in the space. I did that when it was raining and such to prep for a tourney so I couldn't wait for a good priming day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_Bullet Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 I say it depends on what your wife will put up with. I prime any time out in the garage then bring them into the bathroom. Leave them in there for an hour with the fan on.... win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosGerbil Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Make sure you leave the garage door open! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I find a space heater that rotates to work well as direct heat is bad. I have been able to prime year round. i have a 20 dollar heater that has worked for past 3 years. I use it during john humidity days too.

deadwing34 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I primed in my garage on Sunday and they turned out great. Although I think the weather was even better than forecast. I did not realize this before but my phone adjust humidity conditions in real time, I think it was right around 53%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 50%-ish is usually OK, yeah, especially if it's warmer. I think it's actually the Dew Point that matters, which is related to both the humidity and the temperature in ways that I don't really understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
