So Saturday, I get a call. It's around 100 degrees where he is, doing a black all over.
All he had was a slow activator, so he added 10% 870 and made the clear faster.
He called, and I said try some retarder as it takes less as he did not have a very slow or slow reducer.
So today, he calls said added 7% retarder to each mixed cup, did four coats, and waited 20 mins between coats yesterday.
I waited today to call because I only waited 20 mins between coats and was worried it might blow up; nope!
I explained why 20 mins worked, and he said today he would try 15% retarder on another black car.
Only the net results count, and he made his formula to work in his shop.
