    You know Jim, I’ve always thought you were crazy blocking your clear with 400. :wak

    I’d be terrified of burning through. I guess I’m just a pu$$y :rofl

    Just out of curiosity, what system are you switching from? a solvent system or another waterborne?

    Can you guys find “Pocahontas” they say her face is in the mountain, I spent like 20 min looking till i realized she’s looking into the sky (to the right) with a jaw like that thought they should have called her Jay Leno and not Pocahontas! :lol1

    This is somewhat incriminating were not suppose to feed the wildlife but this guy was way to cool not to. Fat little basterd found himself quite the free ride on this mountain top.

    [quote]What are the pros and cons or differences and similarities of Medium Solids clear and High Solids? why would i use medium over high solids?

    Sincerely,

    Confused Mo lol[/quote]

    High solids will build more milage in fewer coats, has better chemical resistance and generally hold a better gloss due to less chance of solvent entrapment.

    Medium solids will spray easier.

    Now this is where it gets tricky. Just because a clear says HS doesn’t mean it is a HS clear. There is no generalized amount that makes a clear HS or MS. I can make a MS clear and write high solids european clear all over the can.

    HS clears will spray better with compliant(RP) style guns.

    I personally like HS clears better.[/quote]

    Yeah struck me as odd that it took a hardener too, (it says on the can “Vibrance Midcoat”) :S That was one thing my rep hyped about it was it was bound to be a better midcoat because of that offering more adhesion. It might make sense in theory but I’ve never been one to put hardener in my base actually I was taught never to do that. Honestly that has to be where the problem is from. Some of the things on the tech sheet aren’t misleading but actually blatantly not true. This product is not dust free in an hour nor tack free in 2. [b]MAYBE[/b] dust free in 2 hours (doubt it). This morning when I came in at 6:30 am it was dry, but soft, after 12 hours of sitting :chair.
