gliders Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Wondered if any of you guy's ever use an acrylic type clear spray or similar to creat a barrier over paint prior to epoxy clear ? The reason I ask is that one of the pearl paints I mix myself is particularly prone to causing epoxy issues, only happens occasionally and only this particular shade/mix. Im thinking some sort of envirotex friendly acrylic clear might be the simple solution. Any thoughts or experience? ...thanks,glider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gliders Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Woody,I've solved the issue ! Yes ,because it's a heavily pearlised paint mix, I make absolutely sure its bone dry (2days air drying) . This never used to be an issue with the particular pattern I use it on, then it dawned on me, it's not the pearl paint thats causing the issue,its the masking material I use to mask the the underlying colour that is having a slight reaction once removed and epoxy applied. I had made some replacement stencils using a different material I normaly use because I needed it at the time at short notice, it must be leaving a slight residue or contaminant of some sort. Cut some stencils today from stuff I normaly use ,painted up a quick test lure , bingo , just stopped turner and finish perfect! also applied a bit of the other mask to a test lure over plain colour very firmly to exaggerate possible residue issue ,removed and epoxied, bad reaction and finish ! moral-if it works ......................., thanks,glider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
