Epoxy in Spray Cans

What ever happend to the idea of putting epoxy in spray cans? I know the response from a lot of the pros on here was that they wouldn't have a lot of use for it. I think it would come in handy though for a do it yourself guy like me.

So often I find myself cleaning my gun over a couple rub throughs that could have been easily gotten with a spray can. I'm sure when you have lots of different jobs and panels to work on, you can easily make it worth getting your gun out, but I have definitely found a use for spray cans.
 
strum,
I don't think I ever considered epoxy in spray cans before but over the last year we have looked at aerosol cans for other items and to be honest, we are not comfortable going the aerosol route.
Main reason is the packaging is out of our control and second you need such a large order per item, we just think there will be a lot of cans going bad from age.

Bottom line we are like a bunch of little old ladies at SPI, we want full control of everything we sell.
We have been approached by sand paper companies, masking paper companies, compound companies and you just don't know what is in it batch to batch.
 
Barry,

I really thought I read a thread that you started a while back and you where asking if there was a need for epoxy in spray cans. The fumes must be getting to me...
 
i think that was adhesion promoter and maybe one or two other products. epoxy is 2k and needs to be mixed so a spray can epoxy would really not work.
 
If I can remember, the title for the thead I am thinking of was "Is there a need?" It was posted by Barry. It must have been on the old site, because I can't find it using the search bar. Either way, I must have misunderstood what I read.

Jim, I was wondering how that could work since epoxy is two parts, but if anybody could do it, Barry could.
 
They have bladder cans, not sure the real name and the two components are separated (Part A and part B) and then mix together when you press the sprayer.

As I understand, they mix the product pretty good and do work.

I really do not know much more about them, all hearsay on my part.
 
unless you use the whole can it would be such a waste of material. your better off with a preval
 
I would really like SPI adpro in a spray can,for those jobs where there is a few small areas and it is time to GO!

Right now I keep a can of Bulldog around, in addition to the SPI adpro for larger areas/ bare bumpers.
 
What I'd like to have is a dedicated blender from SPI, I don't even need it in a spray can. I guess I could stick to using very slow SPI reducer but I don't know how good it works compared with the UPOL rattle can stuff that Barry recommended me ages ago.

I'm sure this is such niche product that is not even worth Barry's time though.

Here is a video that shows the concept fairly well:





edit: Woohoo, my first video embed and it worked! Awesome job Dub :)
 
my local jobber is pushing the cans.. u get a 2k primer.. then a base mixed to ur car.. then the clear all for about 60 bucks. never bothered to use spray max but i know a couple people who have... more of a hobbyist that needed a 2k clear and they seemed to work fine.
