    Ryan,

    What size copper is good to run. i didn’t know it was that easy..

    I would think about getting a patent but technically the booth is not safe with box fans and in order for it to be portable, I don’t think explosion proof fans are too portable hehe.

    Nelson,

    I noticed that my black iron piping, well black ironing piping in general is very rusty inside, not sure if this has to do with the contimation but it could cause an issue. I didn’t get copper because I don’t know how to put it together. i am sure I could learn and it would be easier then black iron which is a royal PITA. Copper seams cleaner to me, what size you going to run?

    I am very tempted to at least try some fisheye elminator. If after I add this 2 stage dryer to my dessicant and still get craters, I am going to go crazy.

    I want to fix the problem instead of putting a band-aid over it. I am sure i could use fisheye elminator and be fine, but I would have to use fisheye elminator on every single one of my jobs because the problem will keep happening.

    At any rate, I am adding onto the system and I have high hopes now.

    Still getting them (just sprayed), air dryer gets here wednesday, I am wasting my time if I spray in between then.

    can you mask the red off and then take a single edge blade to the edges.

    bondo and I were talking last night about what you had to say and I am going to take it and adjust it to my type of work. Obviously you paint panels which makes sense with the 30 second flash time because the clear becomes tacky by the time your done with your first pass. With myself I do a couple passes and my panel is done, so a longer flash time of three to five minutes or until tacky is more desirable.

    One interesting thing that bondo told me in reference to your post, was to do a light to med 1st coat and not put the first coat on too wet. He mentioned that fisheyes are more likely to show up in a first wet coat. I am going to give that a try and let my second coat be my glory coat

    Will report back!

    Man I was nervous for the clear! i stood at the booth door like getting myself together and taking a deep breathe lol.[/quote]

    I feel ya!

    My heart starts beating like crazy and i start sweating, only because I work so hard on these pieces and the clear makes or breaks it lol

    great job Ryan!

    see im still learning, i thought wet on wet just meant two wet coats no matter the flash time

    May 27, 2010 at 6:20 am #21618

    man that makes nervous! weird to have no flash time.

    May 27, 2010 at 4:47 am #21613

    dang, so you don’t even have a flash time on that? and no solvent pop?

    May 27, 2010 at 1:55 am #21608

    I only shot it once and I shot it conservative on a small part, can you get on the clear without running it?

    May 26, 2010 at 5:43 pm #21603

    i picked up the med act which is 70-90 degrees. for the fc710

    I am starting to phase out of the rattle can primer for exterior parts and leaving it just for interior panels that get textured finishes. On the last two lips i shot, i used used 2k high build primer, and was very impressed on how much build i got and how much i could sand without breaking through. Everything plays a role so as you said, I want to work with the best products and tools out there, so I am just going to continue that pursuit. It is all a learning process.

    [quote]wrinkled as in it lifted?? Not good if it did[/quote]

    It didn’t lift, but it was if i totally had the gun adjustment out of wack, I am not too worried about that though because that has never happened to me, and due to the longer flash time most likely.

    I think I just need to get a fast clear instead of getting fast activators.
