923-109
Their pre-flexed clear with is very convenient. This clear is great for any job, it lays down beautifully & dries at a descent speed. Polishes great.
923-255
An alright clear, it was pretty good as long as you use it as a two coat clear, it dries on par with the 109 but the 109 is usually cheaper so I don’t find much incentive to use this. It is tough to use this as a one coat clear, It can be done but it goes on difficult. I don’t remember every polishing this clear but it would probably polish nice.
923-450
An excellent clear, one of their nicest. It goes on very easy & shines beautifully. It dries quick in a bake environment. It costs enough but if your going for the best finish, this is a good choice. Polishes great.
923-200 low voc
A fantastic clear, low voc aswell as my personal favorite. It is a 2.0 voc which is half of most. It lays down super easy & shines better than any clear I’ve ever seen. Polishes great, drys a bit slower then the 109. You can really smell the difference from being low voc, its not nearly as offensive.
For you guys shooting Glasurit clears, is the 450 a soft clear? I want a scratch resistant clear that I can shoot in a garage, no booth, no bake. The store is pushing the 255 clear but I’ve read that the -109 might be a nice clear to use. Another shop likes the 450 but they also have a heated booth. I need to lay down 3 coats so I can cut and buff too. This is for a complete over 55 line.
TIA,
Scottyou might wanna rethink usin a scratch resistant clear on somethin you want to cut and buff. they dont buff very easy. And none of the clear you mentioned are the scratch resistant ones. the 255 is nice but buffs a little hard. Havent used much of the 109. It’s been awhile dont remember how that buffs. 450 flows out real nice and buffs like butter. with the riht comination of hardener and reducer you would probably be fine usin it in your garage
Thanks for the help Ding. I guess I took the data on the Glasurit tech sheet which said “excellent gloss and hardness” for the 255 to mean scratch resistant. I’m used to shooting Spies Hecker 8035 and I am even tempted to use it over the 55 line but part of me is saying to stick with one product line. Anyone know of a Glasurit clear similar to SP 8035?
Glaso just came out with a -460 clear that is supposed to replace the 450. they say it has a better gloss, more user friendly and works better in air dry environments
Been a while since I sprayed any of those clears with my VOC laws in effect. I’ve been enjoying 923-200 in my bake booth & 923-222 in my no-bake crossdraft. I was using 923-240 but I was having dieback problems, especially on the hot/humid days.
