Hi all,

I just applied Mr Surfacer 500 to my tank to simulate the casting texture that I have seen some of you use. I was wondering how long I should let it dry/cure before I put the Tamiya Fine Surface Primer over it?

Thanks.

It dries incredibly fast. After about half an hour or three quarters of an hour (to be prudent) you can use the primer on it

hey John, I'm late on this one but.. That name plate I made for my stug at the semmex contest was finished in like 15 minutes, which included adding mr.surfacer 500. I applied the Mr. and accelerated the drying by blowing air from my airbrush and immediately sprayed it with Vallejo acrylic primer. from there I painted my black and weathered it up. No problems at all spraying over the Mr. so quickly!

Thanks Nathan, appreciate your response. That sign for your build looked great too. Thanks for that clarification on the Surfacer use!
