    I lied to 500 to 1000 people in last 10 years

    Lacquer Clear where to get

    Very strange but in the last month I've had two people ask where they could buy lacquer clear. Well, today one of my shops that only does lacquer called for advice and I asked him where he gets his. He said he gave the PPG jobber a month's notice and he orders it on his next order but can't...

    Why not?

    So had a call the other day guy using a plastic sprayer with 700. Worked great for not sure how long but sounds like a week or two. Then he got fisheyes and was not a problem to now. After many questions, everything was done perfectly and the 700 overtime attacked the sprayer. I ran this...

    I thought this might be of interest to you as I do this with all the clears on a regular base for testing. This puck is about three months old and flexible!! It is fully cured because it is 3100 speed clear; if it were a normal cler at 3/4 of an inch thick, it would take closer to 9 months...

    Dub, at 59, passed away on Aug 15th. He would call 2 to 3 times a week starting about a couple of years or so ago. He started using epoxy and could not get enough info, and he was using universal. He taught me a lot about the big drag engines he used to build when he worked for a drag team...
