New Partnership Between Wittenberg and Clark State Prepares Future Nurses for SuccessJuly 11, 2014
Wittenberg University and Clark State Community College (CSCC) recently announced a joint program designed to assist students in earning a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN).
Known as the Pathway Program, the partnership allows students at Wittenberg to earn a BSN through a combination of courses offered at Wittenberg and Clark State utilizing a 1+2+1 system (one year at Wittenberg, two at Clark State, final year at Wittenberg). The program is pending approval from the Ohio Board of Regents and the North Central Association.
"By combining our strengths and fulfilling our respective missions, Wittenberg and Clark State will together ensure that tomorrow's nurses are trained and educated both broadly and deeply so that they can provide the critical, well-rounded and cutting-edge healthcare the citizens of the region and the country deserve," said Wittenberg Provost Christopher M. Duncan.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Initiative on The Future of Nursing recommends hospitals increasing their proportion of BSN nurses to 80 percent by the year 2020. Area employers strongly encourage, and some require, a BSN upon hire or within three years of hire.
"Clark State's commitment to student success and program excellence will be further enhanced through this partnership," said Kathy Wilcox, dean of health, human and public services at Clark State. "The IOM Future of Nursing report indicates that 55 percent of nurses in the United States hold bachelor's degrees, and some 60 percent of them begin their nursing education at a community college. Clark State continues to play an important role in providing high quality and affordable education and prepares nurses to move on to higher levels of education. Both the students and the local healthcare community will benefit from this collaboration, which is the first of this kind in Ohio."
The Pathway Program builds from the strengths of Clark State's RN program and Wittenberg's new RN to BSN program. It combines a conventional university experience with that of a residential college.
Applicants will be enrolled as traditional Wittenberg University students, living on campus and engaging in all facets of campus life. This innovative collaborative arrangement should improve access to and student success in both nursing programs

Erm, could we get a citation for voldie being trapped in limbo forever? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
- Done. - Nick O'Demus 15:56, November 13, 2010 (UTC)
New main image
The etymology section should be re-ordered. The long paragraph in which all of the various possibilities are discussed is fascinating, but since all of the evidence points to the name simply being the French, "Flight from death", this should be the first suggestion. Azraphon 06:36, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
Flight OF death. Not FROM death
Also, "Tom Marvolo Riddle" is an anagram for "I am Lord Voldemort." Tom demonstrates this in Chamber of Secrets.
Years of death and born
Since Hagrid was expailed from school because of Tom Riddle and Hagrid is born in the 1940's so Riddle can't be born in 1926.
Secoundly Tom ain't 72 when in dies in 1997.. But only around 50
- Actually, Hagrid was expelled in 1942 ("fifty years ago" in 1992), not born then. In 1942 he was thirteen, so Hagrid was born in 1929. Riddle was three years older than him, so he was born in 1926. --Parodist 15:48, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually Hagrid was born in 1928, but his birthday was before riddle opened the chamber Slyhades99 18:28, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
Behind the scenes
Why isn't Ralph Fiennes mentioned? He did play Voldemort in the most films. I think Richard Bremmer deserves a mention, too.
in the fourth film, when voldemort opens his eyes after turning human, he does have snake eyes before quickly turning normal. this is said on wikipedia as well, we should put on the article. ---- 16:34, july 30th, 2010.
can someone please agree with me, because I want some support behind this before I put it on the page. --- 15:26, august 5th, 2010.
- Compleatly correct, voldemort's eyes are really red, slited eyes. but in the movie adaptation they made the mistake of making eyes more human.
He was seventeen when he opened the Chamber of Secrets. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).
- No he wasn't. He was born on 31 December 1926. As the attacks were sometime before June 13, 1943, he was at the time a 16-year-old, some six months away from his 17th birthday. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:54, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
Why did the 16-year-old Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince not looks like the 16-year-old Tom Riddle in the memory in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, then?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs).
- Because they were played by different actors. Christian Coulson, the actor who played Riddle in Chamber of Secrets was 31 years-old at the time they shot Half-Blood Prince. As such, they hired the younger Frank Dillane to play the part. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:27, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
But why did they not make him looks like the first Tom Riddle. Albus Dumbledore in his OLD time was also played by two different actors. But Dumbledore 1 and Dumbledore 2 looks like each other.
- Because they couldn't. There are two much facial/physical differences to the two actors. Either way, this does not prove or disprove anything, because the books say he was 16 and not 17. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 22:01, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, but he is 17. He was born 1926, and opened the Chamber of Secrets in 1943. If you looks at a calculator, and say 26 + 17 = 43, if you say 26 + 16 it is = 42. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
- He was born on New Years Eve. He didn't turn 17 until Dec. 31st, 1943. 22.214.171.124 09:02, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
- I did some research on here and looked up tom, he was b. 1926 and i looked up 1940's and itr said the chamber was opened in 1942. he was sixteen. you dont believe me, look up tom, 1940s and use a calculator. Slyhades99 12:04, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but Tom M. Riddle started Hogwarts in 1938 at eleven years old, at least that is stated on this site if I'm not wrong, but as he was born in 1926 this doesn't make sense so the whole Tom Riddle page is wrong, but it's also locked for changes. The Chamber of Secrets was opened in 1942 by Riddle in his fifth year, stated by J.K. Rowling herself on Wikipedia and on the 1940s page on here. So Riddle would be fifteen when The Chamber of Secrets was opened according to this wikia. Also Hagrid was in his third year when that happened as he told Harry, Ron and Hermione that he was expelled at 13. Could anyone enlighten me on if Riddle started Hogwarts at 1938 or 1937?
- Alicelouise1 14:35, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
- He was born on new years eve 1926, the next day (new years) it became 1927. So the year he turned 11 was 1937 (26 +11), the next day it became 1938. Since you must be 11 to start Hogwarts, he started september 1st 1938 (as he wasn't yet 11 in september 1937) and turned 12 over the christmas holidays that same year.
- year 1 1938 - 1939 (11 - 12)
- year 2 1939 - 1940 (12 - 13)
- year 3 1940 - 1941 (13 - 14)
- year 4 1941 - 1942 (14 - 15)
- year 5 1942 - 1943 (15 - 16)
- year 6 1943 - 1944 (16 - 17)
- year 7 1944 - 1945 (17 - 18)
- And for all the other talk of dates and ages; Chamber of Secrets took place 1992 - 1993, they say in the book several times that it was last opened fifty years prior. 1992 - 50 = 1942. So his school years and ages in them would be like this:
- Tom Riddle would have started his fifth school year in 1942 at 15 and then returned after the holidays in 1943 at 16. He was not 17 until the christmas holidays of his 6th year.
- So, if Tom Riddle opened the chamber the 2nd half of the school year during his 5th year, it would have been 1943 and he would have been 16 years old. Touj0urspur 18:35, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I realized later I made a mistake, thanks for pointing it out clearly though! You're absolutely right, haha I was confused! Alicelouise1 18:54, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
If the Elder wand is going to be listed as one Voldemort's wands, despite it never "choosing" him, shouldn't Lucius Malfoy's wand be listed there as well? --EmmyG 11:58, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
I agree. All of the wands used by Tom Riddle should be there but we have to know they were only used.
Yeah...but once he use it ( since Riddle is a more powerful wizard ) it broke cause the wand was too weak for his powers. Speedysnitch 13:39, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
I thought it was because Harry's wand shot that "golden fire" stuff at it and it broke? I don't think it was because Voldemort was too awesomely awesome to use such a noob wand (though it's not impossible, since Voldemort IS awesomely awesome and Lucius Malfoy is a noob ;D). AlastorMoody 21:58, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
Theo Kypri
Hi, I have a question. There is an article about Theo Kypri where it is said that he made a stunt for Voldemort. When I open the source: [[1]] There you can see Voldemort in the scene with the dead unicorn in the Forbidden Forest. I think this photo would be useful for the Voldemort site. What would you think about this suggestion? Harry granger 19:46, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
Timelines, Albus, Tom, James
headboys in school are changed every year. beeing a 7th year student. and according to the article that head boy before tom riddle, was albus dumbledore. witch is compleately incorrect. cause dumbledore was headboy atleaset 50 years ago.
- That's why the Succession Box says "Unknown" and "Eventually". Dumbledore was the last known Head Boy before Riddle, and James was the last known Head Boy after him. Those who came between have not yet been identified. - Nick O'Demus 09:07, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Joseph Laforest 22:02, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
Do you think we could add something about his intellect? It seems that Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and even Hermione have intellect mentioned under their abilities. It seems to me that Voldemort is on a level with Dumbledore and Grindelwald, who both have genius-level intellects.
I like this idea. Voldemort should be given credit for his intelligence as well. He is not just highly intelligent, he is genius. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) 03:08, December 3, 2010.
James Potter's classmate?
hey I wonder if tom riddle went to howwarts with james potter —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).
- They weren't classmates: Riddle attended Hogwarts from 1938 to 1945 and James from 1971 to 1978. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 17:59, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
- If they were classmates they probably be worst enemies with him and snape cause they are both slytherin and snape use to be an death eater so....yeah Speedysnitch 02:16, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

I think Harry's uncle said Lord Thingy, Lord Thing or Lord Voldything, forgot.... Speedysnitch 01:13, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
any idea as to what was voldemorts age before he was completely killed? Jin kazama7 07:55, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
- The infobox says 71. But if you mean when he lost power on 10/31/1981 than he was (about) 54 years old. --KiumaruHamachi 11:24, April 19, 2011 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi
Man, he is flippen old, 71 he could of die out... looks like he is....40..nooo...I don't really know, what age do you think he looks like? Speedysnitch 01:16, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
Lede description of Tom Sr.
In the lede, Tom Sr. is described as "a wealthy Muggle who abandoned his wife," which I find problematic. I think Tom Sr.'s actions need to be considered in the context of what Merope did to him: drugged him with Love Potion and him forced to enter into a marriage, and, obviously (from Tom Jr.'s existence), to consummate it. Tom Sr. was a victim, and, from his perspective, leaving Merope must have been simply getting away from the person who'd harmed him, not abandoning his wife and shirking the responsibilities of impending fatherhood. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 09:34, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
I think Starstuff is right. Without that background he is a scoundrel, with that background he is a victim. I think Merope didn't thought of that, didn't feel so, because she loved him, but it fatally remembers me of stalker and - sorry - yes - also of rape, but in this case to a man instead a woman.

I'm not sure when exactly, but probably during dreams or visions of Voldemort that Harry has. You can only see the light bursting through him as Harry destroys the diary Horcrux.
Incorrect date
This article claims that Voldemort applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts job on the 10th of November 1971. This simply cannot be true. Dumbledore says that Voldemort applied for the job 10 years after he murdered Hepzibah Smith. He murdered her when he was 18, which would make him roughly 28 (depending on the date) at the time of his application. He graduated from Hogwarts in 1945, so as you can see, these dates simply don't match up. And as the article is protected, someone else will have to fix it. 22.214.171.124 18:13, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Born - December 31, 1926
- Started Hogwarts - September 1 1938 (age 12)
- Opened the Chamber of Secrets - 1942 (age 16)
- Came of Age - December 31, 1943 (age 17)
- Graduated from Hogwarts - Summer, 1945 (age 18)
- Murdered Hepzibah Smith, 1945 (age 18)
- Applied for the DATDA job - Winter, 1955 (age 28)
- Well one thing is absolutely certain and that is that he can not have applied for the job in 28/29 and he can not have murdered Hepzibah smith in 18/19 because it just can't. If he did, he would have been older than 90 years when he died and that is not correct so I think you are definitely right. — Firefox1095 — 22:15, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
You misunderstand me. He applied for the job when we was 28 years old in 1955. Not in 1971 as the article claims. 18.104.22.168 09:06, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
Can somebody please fix this. I can't as the article is protected. 18.104.22.168 10:07, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
- You have a point. I removed it. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:53, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
- Might be a silly question, but aren't kids 11 when they first start Hogwarts? Why was Riddle a year older? Alicelouise1 14:37, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Also it says on the Tom Riddle page that he opened the Chamber of Secrets in 1943 whilst it was 1942. Could this be changed any way? It's quite confusing. Alicelouise1 14:39, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
OWL/NEWT Score?
Okay, I am not sure about this one, but I seem to remember that in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when Hermione researched about a boy named Tom Marvolo Riddle, there was mentioning about his brief history in Hogwarts. I seem to remember her mentioning his OWL score, though it never mentions which subjects. I remember Ronald Weasley saying that he is just like Percy and Hermione was a bit hurt by that... ..And there is no mention of Tom Riddle's OWL/NEWT score in the article, it seems. Can anyone check this out?
I am unsure whether it actually mentioned the results, or just said that he probably got a lot because he was headboy and got special award for the service to school, and I can't check it now because my cousin borrowed my copy and went aboard for vacation... 188.8.131.52 04:30, May 29, 2011 (UTC)Kainey
It's written that Vol De Mort means Flight From Death. It's incorrect, because it's the translator took the litteral wording without considering french gramatical structure. Vol De Mort would correctly mean Flight OF death, not FROM death

Does Possession Make you Look Like the Thing You Possess??
I was just a-thinkin', does possessing people make you look like the person you possessed? Because when the Dark Lord was possessing Quirrell, he was the same colour of Quirrell's skin, plus he had a nose! He looked human. However, when Voldemort was possessing snakes in the Albanian forest, the last thing he had possessed were snakes, therefore he now looks like a snake. Am i right??
I don't think he had a nose when he was inside Quirrell. He had one in the film, but he may or may not have had one in the book; plus, this was before he was reborn and before he was in his rudementary body. As for the snake thing, as far as I know, he looks like a snake because Nagini's venom was part of the rudimentary potion that he took to get his body, and he was fed the venom after it was milked while in that body.

Common name
Okay, now I know that this site isn't Wikipedia, but I think that the philosophy of Wikipedia:WP:COMMONNAME is pretty valid, at least in this case. No one calls Voldemort Tom Riddle anymore. Sure, he may not have gone into a court and had his name changed legally (at least not to my knowledge), but it's a different name nevertheless. Proposal: Move Tom Riddle to Voldemort. —C Teng 01:06, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Also, just because I know I'll be getting these arguments later, I'll present these counterarguments now:
- Just because one guy in the world calls Voldemort Tom from time to time does not mean that that's how he should be known by that name everywhere. Just like how the title for Harry Potter isn't Barry Weasley.
- Just because Rowling says "Tom Riddle hit the floor..." at the end of Deathly Hallows does not mean that that is the name he went by at the time of his death. That would be taking it far too literally. —C Teng 01:18, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
None of this changes the fact that his name is Tom Riddle. Most people don't call him Voldemort anyway. Most people call him You Know Who or He Who Must Not Be Named, but I assume that you wouldn't suggest that we move the page to one of those names.Icecreamdif 05:58, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
- True, it doesn't change the fact that Tom Riddle is his given name. But once again... Wikipedia:WP:COMMONNAME. —C Teng 18:34, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Icecreamdif's argument is pretty convincing. Even if we were to follow the Wikipedia "Common Name" guideline, "Voldemort" is hardly Riddle's "common name" among British wizardkind. And to change the article title to "He Who Must Not Be Named" is, frankly, ludicrous. I'm for keeping the article title as it is. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:07, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
- One more thing - we almost never refer to Voldemort as "Tom Riddle" on this wiki. Just look at this page. He is alnost always referred to as Voldemort. Do you suggest changing this, too? —C Teng 15:52, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
- Not necessarily, he can be referred to by whichever name, although "Voldemort", "Lord Voldemort" and "Tom Riddle" are usually preferred. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 16:04, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
Top Quote
I have yet to read the book of Deathley Hallows but a friend told me that the quote featured at the top of this page was indeed said by Voldemort in the text, or maybe it was something similar. In any case I have reason to believe this was not just from Part 2 and should not be sourced from that film as thus. Unless, of course, we have to change the quote to whatever it actually is in the book? Otherwise I'd think we just list the book as the source. Forgive me if I'm at all mistaken. --Mateo22 Contact 06:53, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Tom Riddle/Thomas Riddell
It says that the inspiration for Tom Riddle comes from a man buried in Greyfriars named Tom Riddle. This man's name is actually Thomas Riddell so it should be updated to that.
Lord Voldemort & Lord Vader
Are Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort and Anakin Skywalker/Lord Vader compareable?
Tom Riddle, at a very young age, was "found" by Dumbledore as Anakin was found by Qui Gon Jinn, in almost the same age. They both grew in life to superior beings, but also were very talented as kids. And both became evil Lords, BECAUSE of "Love": Tom Riddle couldn't love, what caused him to become the Dark Lord; Anakin wasn't allowed to love, but he did love, what caused him to the Dark Side. And their both "masters" (Dumbledore; Obi Wan Kenobi) were "killed" (indirectly) by their former apprentices, furthermore their masters sacrificied themselves.
Maybe there is another point: they both were "reborn", in some way at least. And even more: what causes them to almost die, is that they had a "vision" (Padmé dying) or "prophicy" (the One Boy).
Finally both were overcome by even stronger, good sided, beings, indirectly: Lord Voldemort "killed himself", Lord Vader was killed through the Imperator.
PS: both were ugly as hell.
- So what? Unless you can find a source from J.K Rowling or something, we can't add this to the article. I can say that Lord Voldemort is like Michael Jackson. They both have creepy pale skin, have weird things going on with their noses, and committed terrible crimes against children. Without some kind of source, however, I can't put that in the article, and these talk pages are for talking about the article.Icecreamdif 19:02, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
Tom Riddle Jr.?
I know that Voldemort's father was named Tom Riddle, and his name on his page says Tom Riddle Sr., and so he must be a senior of someone (Voldemort, whose name is Tom Riddle). Does this mean that Voldemort is a junior, even though the article doesn't say it? Just want this cleared up, it's a bit confusing since his father is senior and his son who has the same name isn't junior. AlastorMoody 22:02, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
- After two years, the above question still haunts me. AlastorMoody (talk) 02:31, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I suppose technically he could be considered junior. However, personal preference and what's used in the series matter, and Tom Riddle never went by "Tom Riddle Jr." even when he still used the Tom Riddle name, nor did we see the name "Tom Riddle Jr." used within the series that I know of. Interestingly enough, the Lexicon does refer to him as "Tom Riddle Jr.", but we're not the Lexicon. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:43, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

The Elder wand was never Voldemort's!!!
The Elder wand was never actually Voldemort's, because Draco Malfoy dis-armed dumble door the elder wand became his thus, the wand was never Severus Snape's thefore Voldemort killing Snape meant the wand still didn't become his, it was actually Harry's Wand after he dis armed draco

Grammar and writing
The grammar/writing style of a good deal of this article is quite unacceptable, especially for a featured article. Who has editing rights?
Ability to love via Love Potion
Isn't the assumption that Voldemort cannot understand love just fanon? It's sourced as coming from Jo Rowlings website but I have been through the text-only version of that and at least three webchat transcripts and cannot find a soure at all.
The most I've found is where she says that his being concieved under one is 'a symbolic way of showing he came from a loveless union.' she then goes to say that had his mother [merope] lived to love and raise him herself everything would have changed. (source chat )
Isn't that directly defying the idea that he cannot love because of the nature of his conception?
Touj0urspur 09:43, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
- The fact that he cannot understand love comes, I believe, from Chapter 35 in Deathly Hallows; it's mentioned by Dumbledore. Based on that, the assumption about the love potion is just that - an assumption, and a logical one to boot. So while I don't think it's fanon, that's just one person's opinion. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 12:39, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Are you talking about this quote: "That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of House-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence Voldemort knows and understands nothing." --? Because the first part is pretty much saying he only doesn't understand because he doesn't think it's important. Not that he literally cannot. And the chat I sourced, its the first one after the last book was released, so it isn't as if Jo said he could have loved and then changed her mind while writing.
- And I respect your opinion, you can believe whatever you want, but shouldn't the wiki be about facts instead of opinions and assumptions, no matter how logical they are? Or at least state that they are those things so people don't go blindly beliving them. Even if others take that quote to mean that voldemort cannot love, that would be fine to keep in, but to say that it was because of the love potion is not fact at all and so I think it should be taken out.

Mother from the Circus
One of the ideas that I had was whether to comment that the orphanage staff believed that Merope came from a circus. Do you think I should add that Riddle was told that his mother came from a circus until he was 11.
um......how do people know he's 6'4"?
the infobox saids his HEIGHT! it saids he's 6'4" tall. how the hell does it fuckin know? it never sids anything in the book,he doesn't havae a actor,so how would you ever know? did you measurepixels on hte computer screen or something? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
- First of all, he does have an actor (Ralph Fiennes), but it can't even come from that because Ralph is 5'11", according to our page on him. This page is protected, but if one of admins who knows where Voldy's height is mentioned could cite the source for that when they get the time, it'd be wonderful.

- It seems likely that is it the Smokescreen Spell, it fits the little description it currently has. He also uses it on the Grand Staircase during his duel with Harry. --AlastorMoody 23:35, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

I think that his name should be changed back to Lord Voldemort. It is similar to the dispute they had in Wookieepedia over Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. I was a supporter of Anakin Skywalker because he died as Darth Vader and redeemed himself.
Lord Voldemort on the other hand refused to show remorse and died as Lord Voldemort, not Tom Marvolo Riddle. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs).

Shoes or Shoesless
I'm not sure if this has been covered before but I'm convienced Voldemort did not wear shoes or any type of footwear after he returned to his body in Goblet of Fire. In two pictuers that depict The Dule in Little Hangleton and The Due in the Ministry Atrium, artwork based on that of Mary GrandPré, show Voldemort shoeless. While not clearly addressed in the movies I'm sure he did not wear shoes. He is clearly shoeless in the fourth movie and in the second half of Deathly Hallows, he is again shown shoeless in the scene where he walks among those he killed at Malfoy Mannor when he was told of the theft of Hufflepuff Cup. His feet get covered with blood. Why would he go alternate between wearing footwear and not? Pictuers taken between scenes do show Ralph Fiennes wearing slippers and while he most likely wore them during filming for comfort, his robes hidded them, I still think that in terms of the character, Voldemort didn't wear anytype of footwear.

Killed by Harry Potter / Tom Riddle
Is it really right to say that he was killed by Harry Potter or by himself? He was a victim of his own rebounding Killing Curse. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:05, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
- As you probably saw in my most recent edit, I think it was Harry that killed him, albeit unintentionally. The curse wouldn't have rebounded if Harry hadn't owned the Elder Wand. And Harry is the one who grabbed Draco's wand from him, so technically it's his fault he owns the wand and thus his fault Voldy died (at least, that's my take on the matter). --"It is real, isn't it?" "It's real for us." 00:12, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
- I see your point, but it still doesn't really feel to me as if Harry killed him as such. I don't really have any strong feelings about it either way, though, so if anyone else wants to weigh in... ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:38, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Before anyone else raises the issue, I would like to point out that even if Voldy did kill himself using his own Curse (and I have no opinion either way), it wasn't suicide; that is when one intentionally kills oneself. Doing it accidentally, as in this case, is misadventure. — RobertATfm (talk) 12:45, April 11, 2013 (UTC)
- Voldemort's killing curse only killed one of the eight pieces of his own soul. I would say that everyone who destroyed a horcrux (Harry, Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Voldemort when he tried to kill Harry again, and even Vincent Crabbe) played an equal part in his death. 220.127.116.11 03:00, May 20, 2013 (UTC)Laura
- Killing is usually described as intentional. It could be said that Harry killed Voldemort, because he knew his action of casting Expelliarmus would most likely result in Voldemort's death. Though, it is possible that the Killing Curse still would have rebounded even without the Elder Wand, as Voldemort still had Harry's blood, keeping Harry alive. Regulus A. Black (talk) 08:54, June 17, 2013 (UTC)
Horcruxes and Old Age
I know Voldemort used Horcruxes to ensure his immortality and that wizards have extraordinarily long lifespans anyway, but do the Horcruxes prevent him from dying even of old age? 126.96.36.199 20:46, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
- So long as those horcruxes remain, his soul remains tethered to life. However, that's not necessarily to say that his body wouldn't eventually age. At which point, of course, he could presumably just generate himself another body. Or posssess someone, or gain control of a Philosopher's Stone, or whatever other Dark means he might have for sustaining life. ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:50, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
Year of birth contra graduation
I read somwhere that Voldemort graduated in 1945, but in 1945, he would have been ninteen, and thus should have graduated in 1943. Given - of course, that he actually IS born in 1926. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs).
- Voldemort was born on 31 December 1926, New Years' Eve. He turned eleven on 31 December 1937, but only started attending Hogwarts on 1 September 1938, 4 months away from his 12th birthday (since students start at Hogwarts on the September that follows their 11th birthday).
- So, his first year at Hogwarts was the 1938-1939 school year (during which he turned 12, on 31 December 1938), and his last year at Hogwarts was the 1944-1945 school year (during which he turned 18, on 31 December 1944).
- So, Voldemort was indeed born in 1926 (a day away from 1927), and graduated indeed in 1945, at age 18. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 13:40, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
I was planning to put this in the BtS, but I want to show I first, before it would be removed.
- Despite he told Albus Dumbledore in his younger years that he was a Parselmouth, Dumbeldore realised in 1992, that he opened the Chamber of Secrets.

- Well, if you're trying to get at what I think you're trying to get at, here's the thing: Dumbledore had long suspected that Riddle was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, it was just that he couldn't prove anything. It was because of Dumbledore that Hagrid wasn't sent to Azkaban right away and was allowed to remain on as gamekeeper. The fact that Riddle was a Parselmouth didn't prove anything because nobody at the time knew that the monster which dwelled within the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk, nor that Parseltongue was the means by which the secret entrance to the Chamber could be opened. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:44, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
I am surprised at the amounts of changes from 'Summer' to 'Winter' in the 'Hogwarts Years' section. To those voting for 'Winter', Why on Earth would Voldemort NOT be forced to return to The Muggle Orphanage in the summer holidays? Harry gets forced to return to The Dursleys' in the summer, Because it is THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS. Having that as 'winter' is completely ridiculous and, to be honest, stupid, in my opinion. Just thought I'd mention it. MrSiriusBlack (talk) 20:09, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
Most talented student at Hogwarts
"Tom Riddle was the most talented pupil to ever attend Hogwarts."
Does anyone actually say this in canon? I find it difficult to believe anyone but a death eater would say that Tom Riddle was more talented than Albus Dumbledore while at Hogwarts. Dumbledore's achievements in school were enumerated in Deathly Hallows, and Elphias Doge even said "By the end of his first year, he would never again be known as the son of a Muggle-hater, but as nothing more or less than the most brilliant student ever seen at the school."

Problem: HBP says that Tom Riddle committed the murders in Little Hangleton "in his sixteenth year." This does not mean he was 16, but rather 15 going on sixteen (the first year of life is 0 UNTIL 1). Thus, the murders had to have happened in summer 1942 prior to all the COS shenanigans.

- Rather, she has it right, but the wiki has it wrong. And do I dare edit anything after the most recent debacle? UpToNoGood (talk) 18:07, June 29, 2013 (UTC)UpToNoGood
- I don't think it's one of Rowling's "oh dear, maths" moments. Personally, I interpret "his sixteenth year" as a more poetic way of saying "when he was sixteen". A similar thing happens with Hogwarts years, for instance: someone who's in the year they were Sorted is on their first year, regardless of having been there for less than a year (i.e. there's no such thing as "zeroth year", one uses only positive integers to count, starting in 1).
- I'd, therefore, take it that the Riddle murders happened in the summer of 1943, when Riddle was sixteen (alas, when he was in the sixteenth year of his age). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:43, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
- I had the same feeling until I reread the second and sixth books. You will recall that in the Chamber, Riddle calls his father a filthy muggle. Here is the pivotal passage: "It was a name I was already using at Hogwarts, to my most intimate friends only, of course. You think I was going to use my filthy Muggle father's name forever? I, in whose veins runs the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself, through my mother's side? I, keep the name of a foul, common Muggle, who abandoned me even before I was born, just because he found out his wife was a witch?" COS p. 314. It is understood that this projection of Lord Voldemort came from spring 1943 when he opened the Chamber. How would he be armed with all of this knowledge, which is only obtained through meeting Morfin and subsequently killing the Riddles (shown in Pensieve in book 6, chapter 17), if he hadn't already been to Little Hangleton. Thus, meeting Morfin and the murders had to have happened in the summer of 1942, prior to Voldemort's 5th year when he holds this negative view of his father and comprehensive knowledge of his roots.
- UpToNoGood (talk) 21:11, June 29, 2013 (UTC)UpToNoGood
- Your theory is convincing, I give you that. However, there's something that bugs me. Bear with me, sorry for the long explanation:
- It would appear, from the canon we have, that to create a Horcrux, one does not need to use a murder that just took place. I say this, because in the Bloomsbury Live Chat (transcription here) Rowling says that Tom Riddle Sr.'s death was used to create the Ring Horcrux, even though Half-Blood Prince makes it clear that Riddle killed his father before he even had the conversation about Horcruxes with Slughorn (from chapter 17: "Harry saw that he was wearing Marvolo's gold-and-black ring; he had already killed his father."). Evidently, Riddle killed his father and grandparents during a summer away from Hogwarts, then, once back at Hogwarts had the conversation about Horcruxes with Slughorn, and then created the Ring Horcrux. So, the time the murder was performed does not necessarily have to coincide with the time of the creation of the Horcrux.
- We know that Riddle killed his father and grandparents in the summer of his "sixteenth year". I've already explained why I think this is the summer when he was 16, not the summer when he was 15 — and I am confident that this is the feeling anyone gets from reading this passage; it would be a awkward choice of words if it meant otherwise. So, by my reading, the Riddle murders took place in the summer (late June/July/August) of 1943.
- Of course, as you pointed out, Myrtle died on 13 June, 1943, before the summer holidays, so Diary-Riddle couldn't possibly know all of that information about his mother. Or could he? Conceivably, he could if the diary was not created then, but later.
- All we know is that the diary was created when Riddle was 16 (Chamber of Secrets, chapter 17: "I decided to leave behind a diary, preserving my sixteen-year-old self in its pages..."). Riddle was sixteen from 31 December, 1942 to 31 December, 1943, and Myrtle's died on 13 June, 1943. The diary have been created sometime between Myrtle's death (13 June, 1943) and the day Riddle turned 17 (31 December, 1943).
- If we are to admit that Riddle killed his parents in the summer of 1943, then it would've taken place between the 1942-1943 school year (the Chamber of Secrets openings year) and the 1943-1944 school year (Riddle's sixth year). This allows us to pinpoint the time of Slughorn's conversation with Riddle about Horcruxes at the first few months of Riddles's sixth year: between September (the start of the school year after the summer months) and December 1943 (when Riddle turned 17 — note that Riddle had made the Diary Horcrux while still aged 16).
- This would time the creation of the Diary and Ring Horcruxes in September-December 1943; after the Slughorn conversation, but before Riddle was 17. Notice that this timeframe allows from Riddle to have killed his father in the summer of 1943, then to have returned to Hogwarts (September 1943), then to have the conversation with Slughorn and create the Diary Horcrux (in the last quarter of 1943). Also, as you perhaps have noticed, this would allow for the Diary Horcrux to have been created in 1943 while still having knowledge of his mother's story, as it was created after the murders.
- Perhaps this is a bit confusing (it's definitely long), so I have added a summary table below:
|-bgcolor="#cccccc" !width="10%" align="center"|Date !width="10%" align="center"|Riddle's age / year at Hogwarts !width="30%" align="center"|Event !width="30%" align="center"|Notes |- |31 December, 1942 |16 / 5th |Riddle's 16th birthday | |- |13 June, 1943 |16 / 5th |Myrtle is killed. |Date is known for sure, the day is given in Chamber of Secrets.

- Diary-Riddle would know about his mother, as the Diary Horcrux would have been created after the Riddle murders.
|- |31 December, 1943 |17 / 6th |Riddle's 17th birthday | |}
- I think this scenario is not only possible, but likely. Tell me what you think, mind, it's quite possible I might've overlooked a significant detail in this huge mass of information. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 00:20, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Mr. Cooper-
- Your parry fits in so many ways. If horcruxes can be made at anytime, the diary theoretically could have been made into a horcrux between September 1 and December 31, 1943. Between these dates, Riddle would have been at Hogwarts, would have been able to learn about his father and mother from Morfin in summer '43, and would still encapsulate a 16 year old within the diary.
- In fact, it is even congruent with what Dumbledore says in Book 6 (something along the lines of Harry being the same age as Tom Riddle give or take a few months when he had the conversation w/ Slughorn......Harry would have been 16 and 9 months......Riddle would have been 16 and 9 months in October 1943). I guess my last argument would be: in COS, would JKR actually intend for that projection to have been made after the Chamber was closed? It makes so much sense for the Riddle projection to have been made as a final-fledged way to keep his Chamber dream alive.

- I was surprised, myself, to find out that the dates fit so well with each other; I'd never given it much thought.
- Well, to answer your question, Riddle does say in Chamber of Secrets that "I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the Chamber again while I was still at school. But I wasn't going to waste those long years I'd spent searching for it. I decided to leave behind a diary, preserving my sixteen-year-old self in its pages, so that one day, with luck, I would be able to lead another in my footsteps, and finish Salazar Slytherin's noble work." The manner it's put, it seems like Riddle left it there after closing the Chamber, to make sure the closure wouldn't become permanent. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 01:55, June 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm. I guess that does almost imply that he did it after summer, right before he turned 17. And when and how do you suppose that he found out he was the "Heir of Slytherin?" Maybe 4th year he found Marvolo Gaunt and traced it back, only to open COS in 5th year?

- Seth-
- In rereading Book 7, I found the passage that made me think originally that the murders happened in summer '42.
- "This is the one that gives explicit instructions on how to make
- a Horcrux. Secrets of the Darkest Art—it's a horrible book, really
- awful, full of evil magic. I wonder when Dumbledore removed it
- from the library. . . . If he didn't do it until he was headmaster, I
- bet Voldemort got all the instruction he needed from here."
- "Why did he have to ask Slughorn how to make a Horcrux,
- then, if he'd already read that?" asked Ron.
- "He only approached Slughorn to find out what would happen
- if you split your soul into seven," said Harry. "Dumbledore was
- sure Riddle already knew how to make a Horcrux but the time he
- asked Slughorn about them. I think you're right, Hermione, that
- could easily have been where he got the information."
- Although not explicitly, this passage conveys the idea that the murders happened in '42. Here's how:
- -The conversation still happens in 6th year (September-October '43)
- -Tom Riddle has already made one horcrux (the diary), which he logically would have made right after the events of the COS (late 5th year).
- -Now, Riddle wants to know if he can make the Ring into a horcrux, so he asks about multiple. I agree he likely stops wearing the Ring soon after this conversation and makes it a horcrux.
- -Explains why Riddle goes as Lord Voldemort in his 5th year and why he has so much contempt for muggles and muggle-borns (immediacy of hatred for father previous summer).
- -In his 16th year just has to mean he is 15 going on 16. I understand it is awkward, but she would have just said he is 16 otherwise. I hear your argument about 1st year at Hogwarts not being a full year, but that literally denotes "being in the first year," not being "1 year old."
- -Remember Slughorn says that Dumbledore has no tolerance for horcruxes, so he clearly has hidden the book by Voldemort's sixth year. For Voldemort to have known, he would have had to have read the book prior (5th year). Fits bc Dumbledore knew Riddle was responsible for the COS, and thus he would've hidden all the text books of DA from Riddle.
- Let me know what you think.

Would it be okay if I added to his personality and traits that despite his "evilness", he still cared enough about Harry's education that he waited till the end of each year to kill him? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 20:54, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
- Heh heh. While that's amusing from a reader perspective, in the context of the books, there are generally plot reasons for why events occur when they do. And even in that case, it's not necessarily entirely true. Consider, in the first book, Quirrell's attempt to jinx Harry off his broom. Also, in the fifth year, Voldemort was after Harry the entire time; it was jut that he was acting on bad information and it wasn't until very late in the year that he realised exactly how he might lure Harry.

Martin Senour Tech Sheets?
Hey guys,
I'm finally going to try painting my first car. It's a Dodge Shadow. This project is mainly a test to see how everything goes and also to make the paint on the Shadow look a little better...it has been chipping off over the years.
Anyhow. I went to Napa and bought the paint. The guy gave me the ratios to mix and everything but no tech sheets. I checked the Martin Senour website and I can't find any tech sheets.
It appears that the guys at Napa have empty gallon containers and they fill them with the mix of stuff...so I know the mix I have, but as funny as it sounds, I don't even know what KIND of paint I've got! It's great being a newb.
Hi unstable,
Here you have it!!
They have their clears on their but actual paints have their own mix ratios. If you don't know the mix ratio or forgot just call em up and ask.
I know you didn't ask but im gonna say this anyways.
Their paints are pretty good I would stay away from their clears though. I have been using their clear for about 3 years now and I am going to try better things. Their clear a month down the road started to magically crack and shrink in a few places and is thick as **** so it is kinda hard to spray to lay flat.(Iv painted about 4 other cars and only my blazer cracked though) Maybe you will better results but the only way I can spray this stuff on like a mirror is if I use a hvlp, turn it up very high and spray so it is on the verge of running. It may have been the medium reducer and the paint guy selling me the wrong product for what im doing though. Other then that their paints stick and are pretty cheap (Good but cheap ) if you ask me.
One other thing is try to work in 12 hour intervals. What I mean is if you dont shoot paint/primer over an area that you sanded within about 12 hours you should rescuff.
Im still "Learning" im only 16
When I was painting my Blazer I waited a week after the car had been sanded and shot the paint over it without rescuffing. After I spent a month sanding and polishing. The paint started to peel off like latex on skin. (Ill post pictures of how easy it pulled off
Note: Always work in 12 hour intervals and use sealer before painting
Sorry to right a novel I just would hate to see the same thing happen to someone else that happened to be painting, Chris

thanks guys. I'm going to give it a shot (excuse the pun) any minute now...it's been a long two days. Can't say that I envy the guys who do this for a living...better men then I'll ever be.
I was a Martin Senour rep for a number of years if you have any questions. Personally, I love the clears, well most of them.
Well I was using the high solids cc5000 and cant seem to get it to lay good without bad orange-peel
Chris, CC5000 didn't look familiar and doing a search on the S-W site came up with nothing. Re-check the number and post it here.
The problem is with your gun set up, atomization or some other "user error" not the product, trust me. It may not be the most user friendly, or best clear but it will produce a nice finished product when used correctly.
The following is something I wrote on the subject of atomization, lets start there. It is not something I made up, this is a summery of what I was taught at the MANY classes I went to at S-W and real world shop experiance.
From the discription of what happened to your clear it was applied too heavy, too thick, period. You just can't "bomb it on" as you discribe or it will be FULL of solvents.
As far as waiting 12 hours and all that. You are right on some cases. HOWEVER you CAN NOT go by a blanket rule like that. There are MANY, MANY products where that rule is just plain wrong. Anywere from the base coat which has a SEVEN DAY window to the vinyl wash etching primer which has a four HOUR window for recoat.
You need a tech sheet on EVERY product you are using and follow those recommendations. I would have to get a more info from you on your paint peeling problem, but not rescuffing was only part of the problem, I guarantee that.
"Basics of Basics" Atomization and gun set up.
By Brian Martin
Being HVLP and low VOC products are the way the industrys going I will be referring to them in this discussion on painting and paint guns. Most all basic issues dealing with HVLP can be applied to conventional guns, atomization is atomization. The HVLP just arrives at it differently.
The object of the spray gun is to break up the primer/sealer/paint/clear (I will call this PSPC from here out) into small particles and lay them in neat little rows on the panel being PSPRed. So the whole outcome rests on how well the gun is doing this. Picture the droplets of PSPC coming out of the fluid tip of the gun and then the air slapping them into smaller droplets.
You have two things that help you with this process, air and solvent. Solvent can mean something that is already in the PSPR from the manufacture or something the manufacture has told you to add to it. By the way, you should always mix in proper ratios as instructed in the tech sheet. The thinner (less viscosity) you get the PSPR or the more air you have at the fluid tip of the gun the more it will break up the PSPR. The target for you is getting the perfect balance needed. Too much solvent and the PSPR will have no body, fill, durability, etc. Too much air and you blow the PSPR everywhere but the car, poor adhesion, excessive texture, etc.
So, the answer is proper air supply and gun (and fluid tip) choice and how you adjust it.
With todays high solids-low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound, you know the bad stuff that goes up into the air we breathe) products there is less solvent. And with HVLP guns there is less air at the cap to break up the PSPC, proper air supply and gun setup is more important than ever.
FIRST THINGS FIRST, your compressor and air supply.
An HVLP gun requires more VOLUME of air to operate (the V in HVLP, High Volume Low Pressure). Now you may notice that your HVLP gun is adjusted at maybe the same PSI as an old conventional gun, around 50 lbs at the gun (many HVLP guns are set at much lower though) so where is the Low in PSI they are talking about? It is at the actual air cap where the air and paint come out. An HVLP gun has only 10 lbs at the cap while a conventional has upwards of 50! So the VOLUME of air (CFM, Cubic Feet per Minute) is the key to proper atomization with an HVLP.
This 10 lbs I am mentioning is AT THE CAP where the air and paint comes out. It is not measurable without a special air cap that has a gauge built in to it. This air cap costs about $150.00 (and you would need a different one for every brand and model of gun you use) and is not needed to set up or tune your gun. Just looking at the droplet patterns will tell you everything you need. I only refer to it to make a point about HVLP operation.
If you have a gun that requires 15 CFM you will need a compressor and plumbing that will produce that at a very minimum. There are HVLP guns that need as little as 7.5 CFM so you can get good results even from a smaller compressor. Air supply is a complete subject by its self so lets assume that you have the air supply needed and move on to gun set up.
So atomization is the key, but why? Why cant you just lay it out wet and let it flow, as an old painter will say. Picture a jar full of bbs, they will represent well small, atomized droplets of PSPC. The gaps in between the bbs is solvent. Now picture a jar filled with marbles, they will represent large, poorly atomized droplets of PSPC. The gaps in between are, you guessed it, solvent.
If you apply your PSPC in large poorly atomized droplets, what you will have is a film full of solvent. This can and will cause slow curing, shrinkage and dieback (the loss of gloss in the hours and days after application).
So, now that we have learned the need for gun set up, how do we do it? Lets start with the fluid tip choice. The newer high solids low VOC PSPC products need to be broken up more, so a smaller fluid tip is needed.
Basically you want the smallest fluid tip that will still allow you to PSPC the particular part you are PSPCing keeping the entire thing wet and in a fair amount of time. In other words a 1.0 tip would be beautiful for clearing one fender, but would be lousy to paint a complete. The application would be way to slow and the first panel would be way to flashed by the time you got around back to it. So you need to compromise, a 1.3 is a great all around tip, while a 1.5 though getting a little big, can get you by. If you read the tech sheet on the particular product you are shooting, it will have a recommendation for fluid tip size.
There are needs for other tips, for instance when shooting polyester primer you may need as big as a 2.3, but for urethanes and epoxies, the 1.3 or 1.4 will work great. If you plan on using a pressure pot or paint a bus, all bets are off and we would need to study a little bit more.
As an example of the use of a 1.3 tip I did a test once that proved the point well. I shot two panels of metal with a med solids urethane primer. One was shot with a 1.3 super high atomizing top of the line topcoat gun. The other was shot with a 1.5 (or a 1.7 I cant remember) hoser primer gun. Three coats were applied and after a full cure (the one shot with the larger gun took MUCH longer to flash and cure by the way) the film thickness was measured. The one shot with the 1.3 tip was 2 tenths of a MIL thicker! The larger gun laid out the marble sized droplets full of solvent and when the solvent flashed the film shrank.
Air supply is a subject that could fill many pages by its self. So we are going to assume you have that covered and move on to gun set up.
You need to tune your gun EVERY TIME you use it just as you would tune a guitar before you perform. This is done with a very basic spray out pattern test. This very basic test tells you how your gun is atomizing and you adjust it to achieve the best atomization you can.
Lets do a spray pattern test:
Set the fan width as need (you dont want to change it after you have tuned the gun). Turn out the material knob about 2 ½ turns. This is the mixture adjustment, kind of like the idle screw on a carburetor. The farther in it is screwed the lower the fluid to air ratio is and the smaller the droplets will be. The farther out it is, the higher the fluid to air ratio is and the larger the droplets.
Set the air pressure at the inlet to the gun to the manufactures specs. On an HVLP gun this spec is usually found on the gun and is the maximum PSI it can have while still maintaining the maximum 10 lb at the cap for legal HVLP transfer efficiency (68 %). You are now ready to do a test spray out.
Tape a piece of masking paper on the wall for the test. Hold the gun at a right angle to the wall, just as if you were going the wall. Hold the gun at a spread out hands distance (about 8 or 22cm). Pull the trigger to completely open for a split second and then close it. You want an ON-OFF wide open-completely closed in ONE movement. You should have a cigar shaped pattern with complete coverage in the center with fading coverage going away from the full coverage cigar shape in the center. The center should be fully covered without any runs. If you have runs, either you are holding the trigger too long, you are too close or the gun is simply applying too much material. In which case you need to screw in the material knob or turn the air pressure down. But most likely if you have turned the material knob out the 2 ½ turns and the air is set at the factory specs, you are just too close or holding the trigger open too long.
The droplets you see trailing off the center are what you will use to tune your gun.
Turn in the material knob to make the droplets smaller (and or raise the air pressure). The balance you need to attain is the smallest droplet size possible before you loose the coverage desired. In other words if you turn in the material knob too far, not enough material will be coming out to cover the panel!
Now, youll notice that I said, raise the pressure to the gun, while earlier I said to set it to manufactures specs. We are talking a very small adjustment. It is a fine balance in material to air ratio and a little more air than specified is okay. Even if it is an HVLP gun the inlet pressure recommended is to maintain the 10 lb limit at the cap. Well, about three quarters of the country has no regulations for HVLP use so if you go over the 10 lbs all it will do is atomize the material a little better. You may loose a little of the benefits of HVLP though. But remember you have a lot of control with the material adjustment knob.
After you are happy with the droplet size, DONT TOUCH THE FAN CONTROL. It will change the PSI at the cap and will change the atomization you worked hard to get.
Do this spray out every time you spray as material change, temp, and humidity will necessitate a spray out droplet pattern test. Good luck!

Ok I shot the car and I think Stevie Wonder could have done a better job than I did!
Besides all the prep work, the spraying was kind of fun in a way. It was almost like the reward for putting so much work into prepping the car.
I've got some runs, I've got some areas of primer that should have been smoothed out a little better. I should have shot a couple more coats of primer to even everything out...
oh well, live and learn. thanks for the help. car looks better than it did at least.
here's a favorable shot
Where did you shoot the paint? It looks geed from the picture. GoodJob
I used the Crossfire High Solids Urethane Clearcoat cc5000
For some reason the Black dident stick to the primer the color changing paint stuck to the black and the clear dident stick to the paint at all. They were all sprayed the same time though. For some reson I dont think my paint guy gave me the right Actavated and slow temp reducer. In my garage when im spraying can get up to 110 easy Las vegas summer times with compressors running.
Everytime I try to spray this stuff I have to put it on really thick just to lay smooth with decent atomization. Everytime I spray coats light coats it looks grainy and never lays. Im gonna try the slowest reducer I can find next time to get this stuff to lay.
Next time I paint my Blazer and brothers Crx ill post my project and hope someone on here can help me out. Thanks, CHris
110 degrees! That sure as heck can cause problems. An expericanced painter can have a heck of a time, don't feel bad.
Listen, this is the lesson of the day "Solvent is the cause of 90% of failures". The solvent doing "something"; to fast, to slow, to slow a gun movement, poor atomization at the gun, too large a tip, to low air pressure, SOMETHING that is changing the way the solvent flashes, that is the root of 90% of painting problems.
In your case you were using WAY too slow of reducer. I was thinking S-W not M-S and I wasn't thinking Cross/FIRE at all. Cross/FIRE is an "OK" product. You have to remember it is a "Value line" product. Like PPG's OMNI, DuPont's NASON, they are "OK" products and will save you some money (sometimes) but they are not top of the line and will not by the odds give you as nice a job with the least effort.
That aside, that reducer was WAY too slow. CR236 is the "extreme desert" condition reducer recommended for 100 degrees, that one isn't even at the 110 you were at! Again, solvent (anything used in any paint that lowers viscosity it would be alcohol, water, lacquer thinner, enamel reducer, anything that is in the product or added to the product to lower viscosity) is the cause of your problems.
You likely had to "bomb" the paint on, the solvent flashed off the just the surface of the paint film, trapping solvent inside. That solvent pushed it's way up thru in between the color and clear creating poor adhesion. That is likely what happen with the info you have told me. The paint not skicking to the primer is unclear. I am thinking you used a wax and grease remover prior to paint that didn't totally flash off or something along those lines. However, with a really fast flashing solvent in the base, that could have caused the poor adhesion as well.
You do NOT need to bomb on the clear to make it "lay smooth". A fine atomization at the gun and a thin layer of clear will do it. The first coat should look like the last, one even good overlap (50-75%) with NO "holidays", I mean it, it should look like you are done. That is how BOTH coats should look.
You CAN apply the clear like this if the gun is properly set up, you have enough air VOLUME, and you apply it as described. It will go on without a run, and be as smooth as you dare to get it.
Does this make any sense?
Hey thanks alot I appreciate it. Next time Im gonna try some good Dupont clear with the right reducer. Also next time I goto napa to get my color changing paint im gonna make sure I get the right stabilizer. I totally forgot about it but I did use "Klean Strip" Wax & Grease remover and I waited about a week before I shot the paint without rescuffing the primer.(The lady at DuPont said that might be another reason the paint didn't stick)
The weird thing is on areas like the hood and roof that are horizontal the paint stuck other then the clear.
Next time ill spray a test panel of clear. Till this day I haven't been able to spray clear in 1-2 coats and be able to have it lay right.
Thanks for your help Im gonna be painting me neighbors Regal Cutlass, and my Blazer in a matter of months. Ill post my project and hope everyone can help me through the way.
Thanks, Chris
If you are using M-S base and DuPont clear, you may be fighting yourself. THere is no guarantee that the two will merge correctly. I've not had problems with loss of adhesion when using different manufacturers products together, but I've only done it on my own stuff. I don't like to get to gutsy when working on a customers vehicle. I have used both DuPont and M-S products over the years, and honestly, am not at all impressed with either, but that's neither here nor there. You're problem seems to be mostly gun adjustment and technique. Mixing products should be something you refrain from, at least without doing your own testing. Now that you've had this problem, you maybe know what NOT to do.
Randy Ferguson
Metalshaping & Kustom Paint
I'm with Randy, don't mix brands, ever. In my years as a paint rep there is one thing that I saw, over and over, I learned, follow the tech sheets and you will by the odds end up with a better end result, PERIOD .
Just simply follow the tech sheets, M-S tech sheets aren't going to say use Dupont clear, that is a given. Just follow the sheets.
I don't understand what happened on your horizontal surfaces. Please explain.
I dunno. Its just that on almost all horizontal surfaces the paint stuck. Like the wax and grease remover evaporated different. O well. Ill talk my dad into either switching paint brands or using better M-S clear. My Projects will be posted soon.
Hopefully yall can help me out with the wire wheels im painting for a neighbor

Chance Seales, Media General National Correspondent – WASHINGTON (MEDIA GENERAL) -- The First Amendment protects nearly every form of speech, including flag burnings, sexist rants and KKK rallies.
But does the Constitution protect ballot selfies?
The short answer: Nobody knows.
It's an important question in 2016 as more than 100 million Americans head to the polls, and cyber-savvy voters will be dying to post a picture of their smiling faces next to completed ballots.
"I love being able to have my name and my face and my vote all together for everyone to see," early voter Mira said in Washington, D.C., after casting her ballot and snapping a selfie.
The temptation proves irresistible for even the electorate's most famous members.
Earlier this week, music superstar Justin Timberlake posted a #votingselfie on social media, sparking speculation that he could face prosecution for breaking a Tennessee law banning such photos.
Local prosecutors in Memphis decided against pursuing charges, but that level of leniency is far from guaranteed nationwide.
State laws vary greatly when it comes to turning voting booths into photo booths.
Fewer than 20 states explicitly allow residents to capture the moment on camera, according to a study by the Associated Press, but even those areas often dissuade voters from documenting the moment.
"Legally, they can do it," conceded D.C. Board of Elections spokeswoman Tamara Robinson, but pointed out, "We do ask and discourage voters from taking ballot selfies" for fear of creating longer lines and compromising the integrity of the voting process.
The majority of U.S. states have statutes on the books that either outlaw ballot photos or are unclear on the issue.
Enforcing the laws can sometimes create a legal hazard.
In 2014, three New Hampshire voters sued the state in federal court after they were told that they had violated state law by posting pictures of their ballots in a primary race.
Granite State lawmakers reasoned that ballot pictures exposed the electoral system to certain risks, like vote-buying and voter intimidation.
The selfie-snappers, backed by the ACLU and Snapchat, disagreed and took their case all the way up to a federal court of appeals, which is just one step below the U.S. Supreme Court.
A three-judge panel found that New Hampshire violated voters' First Amendment rights by impeding their exercise of free speech during the election process without sufficient tailoring, writing that state legislators were guilty of "burning down the house to roast the pig."
New Hampshire now allows ballot selfies.
Since a large number of states still have active laws banning ballot selfies, it's likely that similar lawsuits could pop up in courts around the nation following this election cycle.
If one of those cases makes it to a federal appeals court which rules against the voters, it would create a prime opportunity for the Supreme Court to step in and resolve the issue once and for all.
Until then, selfie-takers could face $1,000 in fines or spend up to 30 days in jail, depending on specific state laws.

I'm not sure what to make of the New York Times' report that eBay paid a settlement to an eBay employee whom then-chief Meg Whitman may have shoved (the details are murky and apparently known only to Whitman and the employee).
But I do have three suggestions for how the Whitman campaign should spin this:
"She's hands on, sometimes to a fault."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"Just wait until you see the headlock Gov. Whitman puts Speaker Perez in once she gets him into a Big Five meeting."
"She'll manhandle the special interests."
That's right: Never be defensive.
My other reaction, the one I suspect that many Californians will have upon hearing this story: If bosses are handing out six-figure settlements for a shove, can I get seven-figures if I convince my supervisor to punch me in the nose?

For the animators and designers charged with bringing these wonderful worlds to digital life, real-life inspiration comes in many forms from historic castles to pristine and unique natural landscapes. And many of them, as seen below, are waiting for you to pay them a visit. pre bonded hairThe Hotel de Glace on the outskirts of Quebec City in Canada provided the inspiration for Elsa's Ice Palace in Disney's Frozen Queen Elsa of Arendelle, voiced by Broadway star Idina Menzel in the film; and the ornate 36-room Hotel de Glace which is rebuilt monthly FROZEN HOTEL DE GLACE, QUEBEC, CANADA

The dense jungle largely inspired the scenes depicted by Kipling and famously given the Disney animated film treatment in 1967 with iconic songs such as Bare Necessities. Friendly bear Baloo is based on the sloth bear found on the Indian Subcontinent, which is mostly black even though Baloo is said to be brown and actually looks grey. His name is based on the Hindi word Bhalu, which stands for several species of bear. Just as the big guy defends Mowgli from nasty tiger Shere Khan, it's not unheard of for a sloth bear to take on a big cat - as out image below shows - to defend its cubs. perruques cheveux naturelsRudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is set in the Indian jungle which includes 45 wildlife sanctuaries and 100 national parks Baloo's character is based on the mostly black sloth bear (left) species which is found on the Indian subcontinent Just as Baloo defends his honorary man cub Mowgli from Shere Khan, sloth bears will stand up to a real-life tiger if they have to THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE MACHU PICCHU, PERU Emperor and llama Kusco's empire is a fanciful version of real life ruins known as Machu Picchu, one of the world's most famous and revered sites. They made no secret of it, with the Incan settlement built around 1450 being found in the region of Cusco, Peru, about 8,000 feet above sea level in the Andes.

ANGEL'S FALLS, VENEZUELA Old man Carl Fredricksen's South American destination, Paradise Falls, in this delightful action-adventure is primarily based on Angel Falls in Venezuela's Canaima National Park. A flight, by hot air balloon if you like, is required to get from Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolivar to Canaima camp, which is the launching off point for a range of river trips to the base of the falls. Not wonder it was such a palaver for Carl and young Wilderness Explorer Russell. The spectacular falls falls drop 979metres and can be seen from 200m away via a lookout that's about a 90-minute hike from the base. A popular part of the hikes is jump off rock ledges at the falls.

CHATEAU DE CHAMBORD, LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE The Renaissance-style Chateau de Chambord in France's Loire Valley was the basis for The Beast's palace in this classic Disney film. The building was constructed by King Francis I of France, and although never finished remains a hugely recognisable landmark that can be visited by the public.

EILEAN DONAN CASTLE, SCOTLAND Scotland should be in the credits among the star voices Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson - it plays that big a part. In places it offers inspiration, in others it provides a total carbon print for a part of the animated set. This is the case for the Eilean Donan Castle in the Highlands. Brave tells the tale of a rebellious young Scottish girl named Merida (voiced by Macdonald) and prominently features the colours and contours of the country.
