Capping a fuchsia striker 1332-50

Post by sheila »

Need to know ASAP:

Will BE 1332-50 strike if capped with tekta 3.0- rainbow irid?? or do I need to have the clear on the bottom? I'll full fire to 1480, per your suggested program, with 45 min. hold at 1225.

Yes, it'll strike but the rainbow irid with obscure the color a bit. Although Tekta isn't available with an irid coating as far as I know, so you must be using 1101-0031.

Correct..1101-31. Prefer to use clear on top to make tight lines in pieces below. So, fuchsia will fully strike if capped. Thanks!
