Hello guys,
I have a problem with the scanspray that came with my MINI which is the AESUB blue.
Its stated as self-vanishing, but on my hand painted action figure, it leaves on some points on the figure a pale/ white coating…
I tried warm water with dishwashing liquid, but it wont come off. its been some month now having that ruined paintjob on the figure, but now I want to ask, if someone expierend the same and maybe have a solution for me? thanks 
Hi! Can you share some photos?
Hi @MangoLassi
I did experience issue with AESUB damaging my coins and other materials so I stopped using it and switched to ATTBLIME 3D spray and without issue .
Your paint may had some additive that reacted with the 3D Spray , you never should wash it off , you should put it in area where air circulates the most .
But even after cleaning my coins got damaged anyway as it react like a acid eating up the layer …
It should never happen as that is not the point of 3D vanishing spray .
Anyway write a complain to AESUB as I did , however don’t expect much from them, the reply they gived was stupid like they don’t know what their own product do .
Hi PopUpTheVolume
thanks for your quick answer, that helps. Today I was very confident and used my IPA 99% with a tissue and gently wipe that layer, and a bit of the paint coating, and a bit of paint away… very minimal, but those nasty white spots are gone. I guess you should also try it out with your coins. Maybe IPA 70% is also enough. On my handpainted resin figures I will never use this aesub stuff again. Maybe AESUB transparent … but dont know. I guess scanspray is more ment to be used for the car industry, not for us hobby people. I will look up ATTBLIME also. What product do you from theme?
That’s good to hear @MangoLassi
My coins surface was not dirty , it was destroyed like you put an acid on metal .
It was clean after the spray vanished , but after 2 weeks the reaction happened while stored away .
I am never going to use AESUB again that’s for sure , beside it is too thick and take too much details away .
Comparing AESUB to ATTBLIME is like snowfall to frost . 
Attblime R2 
if using airbrush.
I use ATTBLIME AB2 or AB6 depending how big the object is I want to scan and how long I need it to stay coated. AB2 for vast majority.
thank you both, Ill try that. ATTBLIME also has
Only AB2 & ABP are free of ethanol, which makes them - I guess less aggressive. AB2 has a layer thickness of 3,6µm.
AESUB transparent has a layer thickness of 10-20μm - but its translucent, so the mini could pick up color data which I like…
hmmm… not sure. Do you guys scan painted figures like me? Should I go with ABzero or maybe give AESUB transparent last chance? Or just go with your AB2 
I do not scan color with MINI as it is not good to scan colors due to blue laser absorption , my favorite is POP2 for scanning with color but then I don’t need 3D spray .
However ATTBLIME do not completely hide the color still allows you to scan with MINI even if the color is not scan friendly like red or green and yellow .
AESUB transparent may still leave the colors too intense to use with MINI as all it do is removing only the shine from the surface . The colors still absorbing the blue light .
I guess you need to figure out what is best for you in this case , as you know best what you need .
Trying things out by yourself will give you the best answer .
i have used aesub white. Same situation it is not self removing or water removal. Iso only helped …
It is not the same situation , AESUB white is permanent 3D scanning spray , AESUB Blue is temporary 2h vanishing spray , however it will affect some surfaces .
I skipped to use it all together .
I have attblime abp and it removes ok (not fully, after air dried they’re white rests…) with water… I’m still searching for spray alternatives that gives me a thin white coating and doesn’t hurt the paint or paint coating but also could remove easily. Maybe next is dryshampoo…
I never cleaned Attblime with water , why ? It vanishing in 2 hours completely living nothing on the surface , most recommend by engineering companies.
You just need to go the one that vanish in 2 hours . And spray just a little so it is frosted ( not white) as that is too much , Attblime just frosting the surface what is enough to scan even if you see still the color .
And do not run water over it , it need to evaporate on itself , put it in area where the air flow is higher , it will finish faster , I usually put it next to a mini fan and it clean out quickly on its own.
thanks PUTV! Ill try that, but Iam a bit undecided between ATTBLIME AB2, ABX, ABzero aannd maybe AESUB transparent…
