Mr.Aqueous Surfacer is an innovative line of primers with microfiller that has a composition similar to H series of paints.Their main advantage is possibility of thinning with less aggressive and virtually odourless thinners like Mr.Aqueous Color Thinner or similar without losing properties that are found on typical Mr.Surfacer products.
Those primers come either as a liquid to be sprayed through an airbrush after thinning or as a ready to use spray cans. There are primers with several grain size to choose from that can be sanded as a typical putty.
Primers are a vital part of any model kit build.They improve paint's adhesion to the surface and also allow to spot any imperfection in the model itself.
Currently available primers are offered either as liquid for thinning and applying using an airbrush or - if you don't have one - as spray cans, ready for application as soon as you shake it well to mix the contents. Spray cans give less control over priming process and require some experience in use so you won't flood model details with primer. Their main advantage is that they're ready to use and have optimal covering power. Primers for airbrushing always require thinning but offer greater control over their application and adjusting their consistency and covering power to modeller's needs. They also allow making small touch ups on the kit.
Main purpose of primer is to create a surface on the model kit to which main colours can adhere to. It is very important especially when brushpainting model kits or figures as waterbased acrylics do not have high adhesion to bare plastic and can rub off easily. In case of model kits with many resin and photoetched details primer makes the surface even in texture and allows paints to apply without discoloration.
There are also so called primers with microfillers, that contain additional, very fine filling material - using them will reduce most of the light scratches and imperfections making the surface smoother and improving the finish. This kind of primers can also be sanded with great results.
Primers are mostly organic solvent products - they will have a distinct, strong chemical smell and as such remember to take safety precautions and work in a well ventilated area.
