I wouldn’t waste my $ on a cobbled together compressor…it may work, but if you’re going to stress over it, go big.

[quote=”surfacepreptech” post=34241]Hello, all…I just happened across this forum now. I’d like to contribute some info as an expert in tack cloth design and production (with nearly 40 years in the business).
There is quite a variety of materials used to make tack cloths. Regarding the cloth material, noted in this forum is the conventional cotton type, made with cheesecloth (gauze). Important is a common auto OEM design that is knitted with non-fibrous, filament polyester yarns and having finished edges to be “lint free”. Also referenced in the forum are non-woven cloths, designed to be lower in cost. Each cloth type has advantages and disadvantages.
“Tack” may range from a simple one-part treatment in the commodity grade tack cloths, to complex, multi-part formulas in the preferred professional brands. Modern commercial tack cloths are made with hot-melt treatments in the US/EU, and usually (still) with solvent systems in Asia. Water-borne systems are typically used in non-woven tack cloths for certain reasons, but may also appear in woven or knitted cloths. There is a great variety of quality and performance to be found among these different systems and formulas — just like paints, sealants, etc. Generally, the better tack cloths require more sophisticated production systems to accommodate tack treatments that are optimized for both “adhesion” (dirt pick-up and holding) and “cohesion” (relating to resistance to resin transfer). Simpler tack cloths tend to use thinner (oilier, or high-solvent) treatments to ease production and minimize cost. But thinner treatments will transfer more easily, so less of the treatment can be used and thus the tacking performance is reduced. “Bee’s wax” is NOT a material used in modern, commercial tack cloths.
Different tack-off applications can benefit from different tack cloth designs. I’m glad to answer questions and discuss any related information in greater detail.[/quote]
Welcome! Nice to have an expert in the field of Tack Rags!
