EGP hard to buff out

[James.]

I put the first coat of AG EGP on today after some AG super resin by hand, left it for 60mins as instructed, but when I went to buff it out it was really hard to get off. Arms are bloody cained.

On the back it says buff out gently, have I applied to much?

Its also left some small spots because I had to leave in a rush for work, will these come out :S

Cheers.

Ultra thin layers are the key, other wise the above happens!

A little goes along way. Spread it so it looks very very thin.

 

[James.]

Cheers Rich, will the small spots come out? I'll wash it againg tomoro before I apply the second layer.

Ditto with mine this afternoon, probably didn't help that it was being baked on by the sun

I find it hard to buff at times, thin as poss is the key but I also find it hard to get an even thin coat, if using very little product and trying to apply thinly it always seems to miss bits.

 

[Rich]

I would not worry about missing bits - thats why its best to do 2 layers to ensure total coverage.

Sun is bad though for it Al!

Don't I know it!!

P21s was ok though (did a panel at a time )

BAH! still pretty hard to get off.

What am I doing wrong?

This time I..
Applied very little using an applicating pad,
Left for roughly 60mins
Buffed out using a MF

Most of it comes off ok, but it leaves streaks that are hard to get off.

I dont get it lol

lol instead of being a Dick, do something usefull and bring your PC round

 

[Guy]

dont use the PC for EGP anyway..

 

[al]

Jaybee, you could try a bit of Megs QD on the hard to remove bits.

 

[James.]

ohh, good thinking. Cheers

 

[Rich]

Thinner still You should hardly be able to see it when applied and dry.

I'd leave it longer than 60 mins too.. try 3 hours..but not in the sun
the thinner the better

 

[James.]

Leave it over night if you have a garage - works well for me.

 

[James.]

I remember the first time I used this stuff I had it on so thick it looked like cheese on toast!
