NaMoPai-NO

 Welp! Juggy number 3 arrived!

 & before prepping even ONE more Juggy, I washed him off & hit him with some primer. Boy am I glad I did too!

  Because he had the same sticky reaction as the first two!

 This guy even had it across his neck & face!

 Of course Rayvin & Jen were dumbfounded. They are awesome though, & certainly get an A+++++++++++++++++++ for customer service!!! Jen & Tom finally tracked the issue down to a bad batch of resin. & Jen made sure to wash & prime the next Juggy heading my way to make SURE he's a good boy!

 Just to rule out that it was not possibly anything I was doing, I ran these horses through the mill! I thoroughly washed in warm water & dish soap, sanded multiple times, Dremeled down the pour on one, covered the spots in gesso, changed primers, scrubbed with alcohol & mineral spirits (& washed again of course), finally I even stripped one in Easy Off: You can see on him now that the troublesome spots are yellowed as compared to the rest of the horse. I was going to try soaking the stripped one in alcohol, washing, & spraying in new primer, but by that point, I'm pretty sure this isn't anything I am doing!

 So, now the 19th day of NaMo, & I am waiting for Jugy number 4 to land.

 The luck I seem to have had for bad Juggies is apparently pretty fantastic according to Rayvin.

 I must say though, the view was pretty while it lasted! Accidents happen, & this was totally out of Rayvin or Jolt's control, so I am not fussed about it! I won't be finishing NaMoPaiMo this year though.

 Instead I have decided to entertain myself & have a NaMoPai-NO, lol! I can't officially do NaMo since I am signed up with a red roan Juggy, but I still want to play, so I am doing my best to paint my Upton a dapple black before month's end, just so I can "I did it" for another year!

 What a wild ride this has been! 🤪 If you happen to have a Juggy with any issues, Rayvin & Jen ask that you please contact them!

 I hope you all are having a much more successful NaMo, with much better behaved ponies!
 Happy painting all!!
