braddsn Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hey fellas, I use the KP hot/step prime system for priming my stars. The first step is KP hot prime, followed by a layer of bp+mgal+silicon. Question is, how much of each layer do you guys use? Do you use a percentage of weight of stars? I have heard and read different things. Input is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon796 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Is the binder in the prime, or are you using a dextrin solution. Also for what type of stars cut, pumped, rolled ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrojig Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I find depending on the effectiveness of the prime ( heat + slag formation) , youll need anywhere from .5 - 2mm of prime. I like to use about 1mm of hot prime , then follow up with another .5 - 1mm of bp prime. Most glitters, or high metal content mixs are great for prime. followed by a dusting of bp. The high metal mixs like strobe some flitters etc, will call for a "step prime sys" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niladmirari Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Prime's weight 1/3 or 1/4 of the mass of stars. I used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 In general a 1/32" layer of each prime is pretty acceptable. If you have the chens, I definitely highly recommend the Spanish "monocapa" prime submitted by jopetes. It is the single best prime I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
