I had a call from a shop that had been using the epoxy for some time and his question was the epoxy the last two batches seem thinner to me and my brother.
Caught me off guard and I assured him the solids were the same, I started to explain to him all the changes ever made to the epoxy none ever effected solids and as I was telling him the better points he would see with the solvent reduction of Oxsol and 2/3rds of the oxsol is now made up to 2 new o-Voc solvents it hit me like a brick what the was talking about.
Oxsol is heavy and makes anything spray thicker but after it evaporates the solids are the same.
Best example is 4000 vs 4100 clear, same stuff but sprays way different.
Positive points from doing this and some of you may have noticed in the last 5-8 months already.
Reacts better to colder temps.
Out of stickiness faster
Can wet with less wait.
Less likely to be so sensitive to contamination.
Activator does not yellow as bad.
Now where I need you guys opinion is I was going to play with the solvent in the 2100 and 5100, as there is room for improvement with these two clears but now will put that thought on hold.
