Kennedy brown wrinkle touch up??
Anybody know where I can get Kennedy brown wrinkle touch up paint
here in Canada? Couple of the usual industry supply places have said that they can't bring it into the country because of some border restriction. It is hazard code 3, but strikes me as really strange that you can't get a can of spray paint into the country. Or... I can prolly match the colour with some of the acrylic I have in my shop. But not sure how to get the wrinkle effect. Appreciate any suggestions. Tanks, DOC Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

It's probably not urgent, ne'st ce pas? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

These days I seem to be working on a LIFO system. Which means that if I put it off it tends NEVER to get done. I'm curious about how they formulate wrinkle paint and wonder how I might be able to fake it. And I'm frankly puzzled about the geniuses at border control. Tanks, DOC SA comment should go here. |

Tanks, DOC SA comment should go here.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - As far as I know, it's just got some extras added so that the stuff skins over but stays soft in the center. The skin contracts to make the wrinkles and eventually the volatiles in the center go away so it hardens. Application thickness is critical, heat lamps for drying are recommended unless you really like letting the stuff setup for a few weeks before handling it. Not sure why they wouldn't let it be imported unless it's got lead or some banned solvent in it. Can't make it without the solvents, though. I've used the spraycan stuff, it's touchy to get on evenly. Tends to run, too. There's a hazy area between just thick enough to evenly wrinkle and a run. I've got a tripod with a lot of chipped spots in the black wrinkle paint, mostly at edges. What I'm planning for it is to use some matte black Duracoat and an airbrush to hit the bare spots. Probably wouldn't work too well if you've got giant chipped-off spots, but might work for just touchups. It's not going to be wrinkly, but it'll cover the shiny spots. That's if it ever stops raining here, on the 8th straight date of monsoon. Stan |

Which means that if I put it off it tends NEVER to get done. I'm curious about how they formulate wrinkle paint and wonder how I might be able to fake it. Well ... I've used it in the past (black wrinkle at the time), and it comes out of the can fairly thick to start with. You paint one one layer, then wait some set time (I seem to remember 15 minutes) and paint on another coat. If you let it dry at room temperature, it takes a long time to get really hard, and it has a very coarse wrinkle. If you put in in the oven on a low temperature, it gets hard fairly quickly, and takes on a very fine wrinkle pattern. (It was in the oven in my apartment back in the 1960s and very early 1970s, and I don't remember the temperature or the time, though I would guess the time was on the order of one or two hours, and the temperature was probably the lowest that the gas oven would set to. And I'm frankly puzzled about the geniuses at border control. Those I can't suggest anything about. Why not try to find a make of the wrinkle paint (what I got was rattle cans from General Cement -- a supplier of chemicals for electronics work at the time), and then check the web page of the maker to find out who their distributors are. There may well be some in Canada so they will have already dealt with the problems of importing. Or -- it may be a problem with VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), and it may actually be totally banned in Canada. However, you *may* be able to find the formulas and mix your own. If so -- experiment with various times and drying acceleration.
