Maybe some acetone or laquer thinner? Oh another question my instructions on mixing surface primer is hard to read it looks like 4 parts primer to ? 1 part hardner, the ? is what I can't read, THE BRAND IS ppg. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 289 | Can you search the web for the P-sheet from PPG? Are you using K38 or what? It won't hurt to try lacquer thinner or some red scotchbrite. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | soak the parts in lacquer thinner for a few minutes or more as necessary. Anything except 2 part epoxy will loosen right up. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 430 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 430 | I will disassemble my guns once or twice a year and soak them in lacquer thinner 24-48 hours and scrub them with a red scotchbrite... K38 mixes 4:1 http://www.benspaintsupply.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/RestTrainingDoc2.pdfReally depends on what primer you have as to what it mixes with. Also, it doesn't list it on the P sheet but you can thin K38 with DT reducer if you need to. Makes it go on smoother. My method... 1st coat of surfacer Slicksand Block with 80 or 180 depending on quality of body work 2nd coat of surfacer 4:K38 1:K201 Block with 280-320 3rd coat of surfacer 8:K38 2:K201 1:DT870 Block with 320 then 500 Ready for paint! | | |
