Not sure if poly disks and strip disks are the same thing but strip disks were the best thing I could find and the quickest,ye need to wear really good eye protection though as they chuck bits everywere.
I have to say lad, if I was having that much trouble with a paint I would stop using it.it just seems to be a different product to the one I used.maybe they have changed something in it? I would be very wary of continuing the job with it if its that week cos it wont stand up to much when on the...
Ahha, I was starting to wonder what it was you were restoring.i used to have a gtir sunny.twin turbo, massive intercooler, chipped and 280bhp on tap, not the sort of waggon you would want a crumbly chassis under neath of.she looks lurvly lad.kinda has me wishin I was 25 again.nowaday's 28 bhp...
Well I guess all the pro's have tuned out at this stage,but that's not what this product is for.its for the home painter to use instead of using stuff that can be dangerous.the info your giving on it is very useful burrows.I have been wanting to get back to experimenting with this stuff for a...
I would imagine your dad was using synyhetic paint.it was a fairly comon practice to hot pot it so ye could reduce the thinners and get it to flow better as synthetic paint doesnt like to be wet sanded, its pretty much spray and go.takes ages to dry aswell.
Looks good lad, im a bit miffed bout the heat not helping though as 50% thinners is alot, some would say to much.i think if ye work out the gun adjustments you will see a much better finish straight of the gun aswell, especially the gtipro.i was only using a ****ty draper gun and eventually got...
sounds like the same primer I used, hb body epoxy only I was told it had to be top coated within 24hrs or so.there was no hardener, just primer and 2k thinners.i wet sanded aswell but it worked very well for me.
I left the capri for a week before touching it, more becuase I hadnt got the time to more so than not being able to.i think it was a little soft the next day but after that I wasnt near it for a week.i would place the binder in boiling water from the kettle as apposed to tap hot water if it were...
I left the ud429 in warm water for an hour or so before using to thin it a bit, think it worked to some degree!
Can I just ask ye burrows, did you find that the ud429 loosened up a lot after been heated, was it actually warm to the touch.when I heated it I used a heat gun and it was warm.did ye...
Its as hard as the rest of the paint but not as tough as iso 2k as stated before.as I think i said to ye before steve, I would like to have a go at hot potting this stuff so as to cut down on the thinners as its def a draw back.i know the pro's will never be using this but as a safe trade off...
Im glad this thread is being kept alive even though my input was halted due to other projects.im going to have a go at uploading some pics of a job I done with the valspar ud429.we'll see how that goes.
ah, ok that was easy enough.sorry for the poor pics.this wasnt a complete respray, the roof...
i have a bit of an update to this,after a pm from steve i had a poke around a freinds garage and found some leftover uni-binder.now the temps in ireland at the mo are between 3 and 9 deg celsius and i can tell ye this stuff was neer solid in the can,sort of like molasis i suppose.i eventually...
hey budy,are ye sure jawel aint sending to ireland anymore?i know there website says they dont but if ye ring them they normally will entertain ye.the last time i got anything from them was bout 6 months ago.worth a go.
i have to say firstly im no expert but i had a problem the exact same as yours.i tried everything inc bar coat which worked in places but eventually i had to go back to bare metal.save yourself the hassle and just do it.you will be very very sorry if you push ahead in the wrong direction and by...
well ye i suppose it could be sanded or rubbed down but bare in mind its just one panel.if your talking bout a whole car and then you throw things like sand threw into the mix it really becomes a false economy in a way.my best and only advice would be to do a lot of consecutive coats bearing in...
just a small update on the uni binder,the panel i painted last september has held up well so far.there is just one thing i would add as slight down side and that is that if your using it try and get all the painting done in one shot.the reason i say this is there is a small sction i went back...
Ive never heard of anything like that ever happening but im sure it must have.if it were to become a common thing though i think all us diyers would find it very hard to get paint at tall cos it would be the paint shops in the firing line for selling it to joe public.there is enough h+s info out...
