I've been using the black epoxy for awhile on this project with the occasional hiccup. last time i sprayed it, my Finishline 3 kept dripping from the tip and I couldn't figure out why so I shot that coat with my detail gun.
I took apart the finshline, and thought I had everything squared away, except this coat went on real weird. I'm not sure if it was a problem with the gun, the settings on the gun, the epoxy, or the moron applying it?
I first noticed it was laying all orange peely, no matter how wet I tryed to lay it on. I played with the fluid knob, raised the air pressure at the inlet from 23 to 25+ psi, and everything still seemed weird. occasionally, it seemed to "lay" right but for the most part I couldn't figure out what was going on. It has cured for about 6 hours, and in spots it dried totally flat. In other spots it dried almost normal, and in a third spot, it is shiny like usual, but it looks like it has sand in it. I am 99% sure that the area with what appears to be sand is not really particulate contamination.
Here are two pictures, the first shows the flat area and the shinny areas adjacent, this was the same batch of epoxy, induced at the same time, sprayed continuously.
Here are the bumps from the other side of the car:
Once I figure out what was wrong so i don't do it again, can I just sand out the flaws and recoat?
