A few months ago I ordered a bottle of Eastwood Ford Light Blue and a bottle of Eastwood Signal Red. I've been using the blue with great success then decided to coat a batch with the red. It would just barely adhere to the bullets, very spotty. So I cleaned a few of the bullets with brake cleaner and tried, no change. Denatured alcohol, nope. So I tried a few of the same bullets in blue and BINGO, normal coating.
What could the problem possibly be? The powders were bought at the same time, stored under identical conditions, applied in an identical manner as the blue (plastic tub, airsoft BB's, shake for 2-3 minutes) and in identical conditions. Could it possibly be the color? I read as post from a few weeks ago where someone was getting spotty coverage with Smoke's Red.
Thanks for any insight.
