Some items have gone down in price because of oil and a few things have gone up a little but its a wash and I can just about show those facts with every item I make.

Well your ethics are certainly not something I would question, If a company needs to charge more so be it I was just shocked at the jump but it seems logical that tcp was actually giving a deal so I should be glad I got one at that price lol.Barry;n71857 said:Knowing how its made and what is in it, this makes no sense to me.

The Rust Defender and their All-u-need primer is advertized to self etch?, I bet the Sandie doesn't have that self etch quality which is just fine with me since I apply it over epoxy anyway. What ingredient would allow it to self etch?
chevman;n71888 said:It has zinc phosphate Bob, check the third paragraph of the handling instructions, although its not listed in the msds. SPI epoxy also has zinc phosphate http://www.clausenautobody.com/library_page.php
Senile Old Fart;n71901 said:I read the info you referred to and I see no mention of zinc phosphate. What did I miss?
I do see where it states -
"Unlike 2K Primer, SANDY is a 100% pure high build polyester primer that will cure in 45 minutes at 78 degrees. Major paint companies require two hours of cure time for their priming systems. Unlike 2K Primers it is recommended to be sprayed over bare medal "This product contains 86% solids, therefore it will cover 80 grit sand scratches easily. All surfaces must be sanded and cleaned. Do not use solvents to prepare the surfaces. This product may be used over etching primers, epoxy primers, old finishes and body fillers. SANDY should not be sprayed on bare medal. "
It appears Clausen can't decide how to apply their product.
I would test it out if I had a spare Olympic Medal ,LOL< jk>
