Been experimenting with this...try cooling the model down in the fridge for awhile before spraying from a can. I've gone from occasional crazing to zero crazing.

Bugger!

I get that occasionally with my primer.  It happens when the can is getting low on paint and I get a bit heavy handed and put on too thick a coat. 
The solution is thin coats, 15 minutes apart until complete coverage is achieved.

Brand new can, and the room, the models and the can carefully warmed. I think I didn't give it the full 2 mins of shaking before spraying.

Had it happen with Humbrol spray varnish a few times. New can, warmed, shaken etc and for some reason

Any idea of the science behind that ? Sounds sort of counter intuitive ?

Just the power of bo**ox really. I noticed that when I sprayed in the Winter outside...no crazing. Do the same in Summer and crazing was more often. Just seems to work for me. I do give the can a full five minutes of Rik Mayall wrist action though. Also noticed that traces of setting solution plays havoc with spray varnish (acrylic varnish).

Cheers mate I'll give that a try next time. I know who to blame
