Title: Primer
Description: It went on all fuzzy....

I was using my white Citidel Spray Primer and it went on all fuzzy. My models are covered in what looks like dried Baking Powder with little bumps all over it. I was wondering what I did wrong so it doesn't happen again, and how to remove it.
Thanks.

Make sure you shake the can thoroughly first. Then when you're spraying, ensure you are a good 30cm (15" approximately) away and ensure you're doing a nice even spray rather than just focusing on one model at a time.
Also, if you're outside I've heard that very low temperatures can cause weird stuff to happen. I wouldn't know, as I live in Australia where low temperatures are as legendary as dragons... ;)

Yea, it was pretty cold outside....
It's really really ugly...looks like corn starch.
Well, does anybody know how to get it off?

finger-nail polish remover takes out cidital paints, but i dont know about primer. (plus that was on a carpet not a modal....)

If I'm remembering right, Pine Sol took it off quite nicely when the same thing happened to Xris. Same method as stripping a finished paintjob off.

Simple Green is often recommended. Nail polish remover *will* melt plastic miniatures.

I tried the nailpolish remover already before I made this forum...Now my whole squad of Termagaunts have bent tails...whoops. But I'll try the Pinesol..
And what is simple green? I've never heard of it.

I've used nail polish remover and I've never had any meltage.
