Ok, it's embarrassing enough to have to ask this question, and yes, I am an amateur home painter doing only my own car. I mixed up some epoxy yesterday
(Sherwin Williams E2B 931 black) and mixed it incorrectly. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it until after I had sprayed the body and doors. The mix should have been 4 parts epoxy, 1 part hardener and 1 part reducer, however, I used 8 parts epoxy, 1 part hardener and 1 part reducer. It sprayed nice, seemed to set up properly and sands ok, doesn't peel or show signs of failure when sanding, but I'm concerned with the wrong mix, it may cause problems down the road. If I have to take it off I will, but not looking forward to it. I haven't been able to contact anyone at Sherwin so far and I know Barry sometimes will answer questions about general problems, so I'm trying here. Thanks, Bill
