Hi Guys
Shooting Univ Clear 2.1 for the first time today. Normal activator. Shooting outside in driveway, about 75 degrees in sunny Sacramento today. Used a Tekna Copper with 1.3 tip and 24 psi at the gun. Came out pretty well - a little orange peel and a couple runs. I shot it over PPG DBU basecoat and let it flash about 20 minutes between clear coats. Two clear coats total. When I layed it on thick, like I wanted it to look, I did get a couple runs but nothing I can't fix.
So how long does this clear take to flash and to dry? It seemed to take an awful long time to become non-tacky. Even after a couple hours, it still would take a gentle fingerprint. I thought it would flash/dry/harden much faster on a warm day. I certainly couldn't have buffed this after a couple hours, as technical manual indicates. Thoughts?
By the way, I only painted the bumper...
