sounds like most mixing rooms ;)[/quote]exactly. I’ve never been in a mixing room.
nope! how awesome is that!
I have heard of improper wiping technique causing fisheyes, as well as fresh tack rags. never had that problem. Every single time I’ve had fisheye problems was on my old system and it all went back to the airlines.
FE should take care of anything minor, so you must have a pretty serious issue. I didn’t figure out if you had the fisheyes on the start of the last complete clear coat, or if it was on the repair area the first time… which was it?

Hutchins makes nice traditional longboards. I have the F16, commonly replicated. I see they make a plastic flexible board and a fairing board too. sweet
That is what I was looking for! I knew they were sold for boat repair, but I didn’t know who made them.
I haven’t found a large 3m soft block.
A customer of mine (I’m a wiring guy) rebuilds lots of cars, and his current ’67 GTO project he used a longboard he got from some sailboat repair outfit on the east coast. It’s a 4.5″ wide by about 3′ longboard. the giant quarters on a classic car, and the roof of anything, really are helped by such a giant block.
I’ve got up to a 24″ Kblock, flexible. It’s great for large curvy panels.
This discussion has my mind wondering about sandpaper types for blocking – I know PSA paper cuts flatter, but I’m wondering if Hookit/Hookit II would be good for an inital knock down, since those rough grits of block paper aren’t cheap… any thoughts?
does 3m make a large soft block? I love their little stikit soft block.
your cheapo gun appears to have a bigger fan than my cheapos… I always hated them for that. I finally bought a nice gun last year, and I love it. nice smooth 12″ fan. much respect for your very nice looking paint job, especially with annoyingly bad guns.

Maybe we should have a special gossip forum. On that topic, do these coveralls make my butt look big? :rofl[/quote]
Yes…
I’m pretty happy with my KBlocks, but the top part isn’t all that tough. I suspect full time use in a body shop you would wear them out pretty quick. But the bottoms of them have stayed nice and flat.
never had a problem. There are some random sites that give my laptop fits, and I don’t know why. for example – IMDB.com is a killer. not other machines on the same connection, just my laptop. I’m not a big enough computer nerd to figure it out… you probably have a similar issue.
this doesn’t make any sense to me at all….
surface mounted ducting along the walls, like a baseboard, would be great, and run it all the way along the wall to one end where all the air leaves. lots of area that way, but you’ll have more suction on the end nearest the fan.
intake would ideally be on the ceiling right in the middle. at least that’s where all the nice booths seem to have them.
most often FRP has little trim strips for the seams, and white caps for the screws. no need to glue it.
