My ROTJ blaster

I've had that problem also with paint not curing on resin and found that if you use the enamel spray paint like "fusion" or something for painting "plastic" that usually works ok, but still dries very slowly. I've expermented with many ideas and this was the best I came up with. I think it's due to the fact the resin and hardener were not mixed perfectly, I could also be wrong but that's all I can think of.
 
Looking real nice! What did you undercoat the blaster with? I used etch primer (it helps paint stick nicely (especially on pvc tubing etc). This may help seal any problem areas your having. Looking forward to seeing it finished up

Posted this on the other 'My new blaster' thread...What did you use for the fins on the barrell?

Looks great btw.. nice job... Hope the paint situation is sorted soon for you...
 
I used plain ol krylon primer. I did have a can of high build primer, but I didn't think that was necessary. The fins on the barrel were a T-track with an adhesive back. It actually came with the blaster (purchased from a TDH member). I don't know who sells it, but it looks really nice once its on there. Sidewinder sells the Webley kits. I don't know the price, but from what I hear they are excellent casts.
