Methods to fix small dry or textured spot

[Nochain]

Just found this area that looks dry or textured. Not sure what happened maybe speed? And I knew then. What’s the best way to deal with us. I’m sure there’s several ways. Just looking to get your input.

Will probably be fine after cut and buff. At least that is what I would try before shooting more clear.

From the pic I'd start with 2000 and proceed slowly. I had a place similar month ago, buffed thru and had to redo it.

I just did a correction like this yesterday after Barry talked me out of shooting more clear. I was worried about cutting through because I only had 6-7 mils of total material. Start with 2000 if you have it to flatten then work up. I didnt have 2000 so I did assilex 1500 dry so I could see when it was cut flat then moved to 2500 wet and it flattened it out removing minimal material. I only took off .1-.2 mils to get it flat.

Thanks guys. It showed up on my last layer of clear (4th layer). So I should be able to apply the sanding methods above and get it to smooth out.

If you have 3 layers of clear under it, be careful, but flatten it with 1500 grit paper while staying off the edges, then shoot more clear. It shouldn't be a problem.

Yup I’ve done it that way with success before but I would like to try it with cut and buff first. I have 4 layers btw.

You should be fine with that as well. I just thought you wanted more clear on it.

It will cut away readily. It’s likely you got some overspray on there from spraying an adjacent area and still have plenty of mil there. I’d rather cut a dry section like that than peel.

Ya, if thats on your last coat then itll be fine and sand and polish right out. I get that type of stuff all the time on jobs I know I am going to cut down and polish out. I will go over all of the jambs last and wet them out real good and the overspray never melts in.

From my personal experience, proceed with caution.

Yes I experienced the downfalls already on one panel lol.
