any one useing standox 15-60 plus clear???? what hardner are you useing???? iam in a cross flow booth< with good air flow thats heated coming in ,no bake,looking to get out of dust quick ,but good flow, no exp w/ this clear?????? any info would be great ?????/ thanks westcollision
I’ve used a decent amount of 15-60 plus. Currently using Spies 8046 which is THE same clear… For the 15-60 plus without baking capability i’d start out with the 05-15 for 3 or less panels and 15-25 for bigger jobs. I think you’ll find that the 20-30 is too slow, but if you have really good airflow maybe not. That clear really performs best with a bake, so without it you won’t get the best of it. Still nice, though.
What gun setup are you planning to use? That clear is pretty friendly to different guns and tip sizes. For 2 coat application i like the W400lv 1.2@28-30psi, for 1 1/2 coat i like a 1.3-1.4 in most any gun. Dial in your hardener, add the 5% reducer and spray it the way you want it to look and don’t depend on flow.sounds good ,05-15 must be the fast hardner.any exp w/ fast dry additive???? i will be useing a sagola 4400 xtreme w1.3 tip, 2 coat application, does it stay were you put it when you spray it like you what it to look???/ how long of a flash on 2 coat app, pullled tech sheet, 10 min flash??? not much tech info!!! thats why iam here!!!!!off to anothere long day of spraying!!!!!
Yes, the 05-15 is the fast activator, but depending on what you’re spraying, it can still have plenty of open time. I never used the fast dry additive with 15-60 plus, but i do now and then with Spies 8046, so i’m betting it’s the same product, since the clears and activators are. I’ve never had a problem using it. No loss of gloss or pinching. Just stick to the 5% and don’t over add. Essentially what it is is an accelerated reducer, which allows you to decrease your bake temp from 140 to 122 for the same length of time. (15-60 = 15min @ 60 degrees celsius, or 140 fahrenheit substrate temp). If you spray with smaller fluid tips it definitely stays put when you spray it the way you want it to look. If your gun hoses it on, that may be an issue. Also, larger tips on some guns will apply it and give the appearance of fisheyes on your first coat, making it kinda hard to spray it the way you want it to look…these are not fisheyes and go away with the 2nd coat and still a good final appearance. 10 minute flash with slower activator, more like 5-7 with faster ones is plenty for me.
Please post up your thoughts and impressions on the Sagola. I’ve been curious about and know little about them. I’d love to hear what you think of the gun, and of how it sprays the 15-60 plus for you.
Good luck.
