I had two coats of epoxy down, waited the 48 hours and was ready to go for slick sand. I did reduce it about 10 % with 885, but I really don't think I needed to. I used the flg4 Finishline gun with a 2.2 tip at 25psi, fluid was wide open and the fan was just dialed in a touch. I was really worried that it would set up quick so I mixed two batches of 16 oz's ready to go. First batch went down good and seem to go quick to me. I did eventually slow down so that I could get the build I was after. Every now and then the gun would spit out these larger droplets and I'm not sure why? I really stirred the stuff well before I poured. It was my first time using the dekups and so maybe it had something to do with the bag compressing. Next time I'm going to use a regular cup. The 16oz did half of the bed cover and so I went to grab the other 16oz batch. I left the hardener out so that I could add it when I was ready. That is where I really messed up. I left the hardener out and that side had to come back off.
So I scraped most of it off with a plastic razor blade and the rest will come off with some Acetone and a scotchbrite pad. I'm worried I will damage the epoxy because its only 48 hours old.
So I have some questions.
1. What to do to keep from damaging the epoxy?
2. Does 32 ounces sound like too much for one coat on this bed cover and a 72 Camaro trunk lid? Seems like a lot to me.
I feel like an Idiot!, My wife said "I bet you wont do that again". I said I hope not. The one side that I did right looked funny while spraying it, but dried really nice and slick.
Thanks for the help. Russ
