I use Duratec Hi-Gloss, and shouldn't need PVA or Wax. I called Duratec a couple times trying to figure it out. They thought I under catalyzed or over catalyzed. I went to Express Composites today and talked to Tommas. He had the same problem and added a little more color instead of 50-50 with the hi-gloss. he also said I might have been not putting enough on. I asked Duratec about adding wax. They said they recommended wax below the water line (didn't see that anywhere), Del uses wax with his hi-gloss for the same reason. So I shot a test patch with 3% wax and 2% MEKP and 60-40 clear to hi-gloss. I think I will have to wet sand the bottom and re-shoot next week. when I try to DA it just plugs the paper up, but wet sands great.I need to get it straight before I flip it and do the top. one step forward, two steps back. If I get a hard coat on so I can buff it, in time the rest will cure. (I hope)
There I changed the subject
