Universal Clear flash time questions

P

projectPONY

First off, instead of bothering the hard workers at SPI, I figured I would ask here. Is Universal Clear available in quarts? Second, with the extended flash time that this clear calls for, what do you guys do about your guns in between coats? Are you guys completely breaking the gun down and cleaning it?

TIA
 
Universal Clear is available in quarts. If you go to the website (click on the "SPI Site" button at the top of this page), one of the buttons is "Pricing" and that lists the sizes and prices of all the products SPI sells. As far as the gun cleaning, Shine has an excellent method of cleaning between coats (here's the thread: http://www.spiuserforum.com/showthread.php?2630-gun-cleaning):

when using any high solids primer or even epoxy you need to keep the gun rinsed. if left in gun during flash time the solids will collect in the nozzle . this will slowly shut down the flow. ever seem like the second or third coat goes on dry ?? this is a trick i came up with years ago when i started using gravity guns.

get a ketchup bottle or something similar . i bought these by the box back when i was doing more custom work and using my airbrush for colors.
after a coat i empty the cup , wipe it out with a paper towel then insert the bottle full of thinner. pull the trigger wide open and flush the nozzle good. now i have a clean head ready for the next coat.

just food for thought and worth exactly what you paid for it . :encouragement:
