Clive Posted July 10 Share #1 Posted July 10 I am in the process of finishing off a large tug boat from Mountfleet Models. I have spray painted the hull with Tetrion red oxide and matt black, and have now applied a matt lacquer coat which has left milky patches when dried. I am in Devon, UK, where the temperature is around 18c at the moment with humidity of 72%. I understand that the milky patches are due to trapped moisture. How do I get rid of these ? thibaultron, Keith Black, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knocklouder Posted July 10 Share #2 Posted July 10 (edited) Hello Clive, you can try a hair dryer, sometimes when people put hot plates on a lacquer table top it makes it turn white. I have used a hair dryer for this a few times ,it works for me. Just don't hold the dryer in one spot for to long.. Try it , might work, nothing ventured nothing gained lol. Hope it works, Bob M. Ps Do not use a heat gun, it's to hot. Edited July 10 by Knocklouder More info thibaultron, Canute, Ryland Craze and 3 others 6 Quote Start so you can Finish !!

TOM G Posted July 10 Share #3 Posted July 10 spray slow dry lackuer thinner over it..... you might have to do it 2 to 4 times you will see it slowy disapear . don't flood it , one pass at a time, and wait between passes till the surface is dry to the touch.
