Is there any activator under the cap at the top? I know they are normally at the bottom, but clearly, it is not..
I've never used a 2k aerosol, bad experiences with 1k types I will never buy one.
If there is no activator, it can not be 2k. 2k means two parts, that are mixed.
If thats the case, send it back, not as described...

Interesting they list the brand as HB Body even though its their own labled tin, perhaps they are decanting it?
This one?
The reviews agree, its a 1k spray can
Ebay doesnt show negatives by default, you have to look for them, always worth reading.

They sell a 'real' 2K for about £24
Then some other stuff with the same name for ~£13
No instructions about activating.
Top review:
"Not as good as the type with the extra plunger underneath to mix the lacquer. "
Charlatans.
It's a custom filled can, so I reckon it's 1K stuff (maybe HB Body, but who knows??)

I would imagine for most situations wanting a 2k clear lacquer, epoxy would be a terrible choice.

Sorry I misread that, but the same applys with 2K clear lacquer.
You can get epoxy lacquers but I agree they are not the best.
If you are using a 2K spray can or small spray gun with 2K lacquer, the safety precautions required will be the same.

Very true, although small quantities of a rattle can, people do tend to think they can get away with just a filter mask..
Rattle can may have slightly less risk due to terrible atomisation and a 50% chance of getting one with a blocked valve or no propellant
I checked my stock of 1k rattle cans today and out of ten, 3 had leaked from the seams/bottom, tho two still worked, two dead with no propellant and two that feel full with propellant but nothing comes out. Binned 3. Might peirce and drain them into tins for spray gun use..
