Hi,
I have started to paint tubes for blanks that are semi-transparent but have run into a severe problem. For 2 blanks that I tried, I have had blowouts during the turning.
On examination it seems that the glue adheres to the paint but the paint is not adhering to the tube (or at least not strong enough to prevent a blowout if there is a catch).
In both instances, I scuffed the tubes. For the first tube I used medium CA and in the second, 5 min epoxy.
Has anyone else have this happen and if so, what was your remedy?
It is very frustrating to say the least!!!
Thanks
Steve
