Thread: in the middle of painting, ISSUES, desperate for help

Tweet

ok, well that's kind of what I thought.
man it was stupid not stopping immediately because that was my first thought 10 seconds into the 2nd coat but I thought maybe that appearance just faded as it cured.
I have the fan adjuster almost wide open, that might be a problem too, just too much spread and the paint is halfway dry before it hits.
thanks for the suggestions thus far
looks like first thing tomorrow I'll be painting again

You may want to check the spec sheet for your paint, to see what they say about time between coats. On the paint I was shooting it was something like a minimum 15 minutes flash time before recoat, but if I waited more than a couple of hours then I needed to sand lightly to get some tooth for the paint to stick to. That's all from memory, but I'd check your spec sheet before you just wipe it clean and start shooting after this much time has passed.
