I never thin Stynlrez and have absolutely no issues with it. That said , I build mostly armor kits where the paint doesn`t have to be perfect in the least. It`s a great product and my go-to primer.

THE best primer on the market...hands down.

Nice video, use this all the time. I never thin it, but you have it down for sure. Great airbrushing techniques also. Thanks for sharing.

For others trying to do this on the cheap ... my mom uses those creamer cups(she gets a box of like 100 at costco, same kind you get with to go coffee) .. once emptied and rinsed/washed out, those make perfect mixing cups for small amounts, and the finish on the plastic used helps the pain slide right out so there's little waste. It's that, or go to the dollar store and buy a pack of shot glasses.

Great tip broham! Mixed the "Witch's brew" and it works amazing with vallejo primer. I get double the use of a bottle! Keep on the fight!🤙

Thanks for this- I was about to chuck my bottle of Stynylrez. Turns out I was just way under-dosing on the thinner. Your method worked great.

Great video, very detailed, straight to the point, and informative. Am trying this primer for the first time and although they say you can spray it straight from the bottle, I was hesitant. But now I know I can thin it and that in turn just doubled the amount I have. Thanks for the video, subscribed!

G'day PSM, Thank you so much for this video. Many, many people have advised me not to thin Stynylrez and because I have a handheld, cordless airbrush I can't vary the pressure. This was a disaster when I first used Stynylrez. I have since used your 'magic' recipe for this product and I can't tell you how much bother you've saved me. My priming even with that cheap little airbrush was faultless. Now that I have a 'proper' airbrush set up, I've continued to use your recipe for Stynylrez. Your technique was also vital to the success of my priming jobs. I used to dislike messing around with primers that I tried Tamiya spray cans of it but the results were always over the top. I'll be subscribing so I can learn how you get a 'showroom shine' on bikes and car models. I always used to do aircraft and armour that needed weathering. Now, I want to have a go at maybe urethane clear coating. I've read that's how one gets that brand new car look. Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Cheers, mate.

Thanks for your video. I spray(use 0.5 badger airbrush) this primer directly from the bottle, however always stuck. I know the thin ratio now thanks so much.

FWIW Liquitex Flow Aid is a concentrate, it's dilution rate is 20 parts water to 1 part Flow Aid. I keep this in a squeeze bottle all made up and that is what gets dropped into the paint mix as required , if required ( not so much with Stynylrez). I generally prefer their Slow Dry additive in my airbrushing than I do flow aid though.. I know you are happy with how you do it.

I just used up my supply of Stynlrez and and needed some grey primer. So I mixed some grey craft paint and floor wax and it worked as well as the Stynlrez. Floor wax is a urethane type of product and is designed for adhesion and durability. And you can make your primer any color you want.

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing

It takes more time but the advantages of thinning both primer and paint far outweigh the extra time it takes. It goes on smoother, it's easier to control, far less chance of splatter and tip drying and you can use lower air pressure which makes it easier for the ventilation system to suck up the airborne particles. Pro Tip. You can add acrylic inks to your primers to get your prime coat closer to your finish coat. Acrylic inks are also good for thinning paints and maintaining opacity w/o breaking down the binders. You can also spray them directly and they spray better than paints.

Super helpful. Deserves more views - Cheers!

great video and learned about other items to get. Like the low key no BS presentation. Perfect.

I spray mine on with nothing added and it sprays fine in my Badger Patriot 105

great video on stynylrez what part of Canada are you from

Nice video! How much time do you recommend waiting before applying some acrylic paint over?

Hi 👋 there !! Can u use this products on metal surfaces like aluminum ?

Great video PSM !! I notice You like the UMP Ultimate thinner, I have been trying to get some and all I can find are U K dealers wanting to charge #23 dollars shipping for an $8 dollar bottle of thinner or airbrush cleaner. Any help as to where I can get it in the States would be greatly appreciated. Regards Dan

So how do you clean this out of your airbrush after you’ve used it?? This is a polyurethane primer right?

Did you not mix the primer before opening the cap?

out of 20 diff blacks... stynylrez is the only one that cracks...

I attempted to spray it straight out of the bottle and it was awful. Clogs every couple seconds, and I had to do a deep clean of the airbrush after cleaned the paint out because it had dried all in the brush. Definetly will be thinning it down and putting retarder in it from now on.

How would vallejo airbrush thinner work as a substitute?

I don't mean to be difficult and kill the video but you don't need either Flow aid or thinners with this product even the bottle says sprays without thinning! I did a whole 1:16 tank yesterday with it straight from the bottle! - Does not need thinning even UMP who's primer is the same one say it does not need thinning!

Does thinning affect durability at all?

Is it sandable?

Three years later: how does it behave when you put lacquer paint on top of it?

This product must be shot with a .05 needle at 25 to 30lbs of air

do you care if I share this video on my Facebook page ?

It is the most God-awful primer I've ever used. Drys too fast plugs up my Badger airbrush. I wound up throwing it away.
