…that’s it. You must use Latex over new seal. It’s that simple.
So…no…I’m thinking it wasn’t the heat. It was the Acetone over new seal. Yes…it will react.
How does the job look now? Do you have to Re-stripe it?
Next…I’ve heard a couple complaints…on the Acetone.
1) When people first put the paint into a used machine…the Acetone…that’s IN the Acetone based paint…will dissolve the old paint flakes inside a used machine…( I know…I know…we all clean our machines…BUT STILL…! ) …then…those little flakes cause clog after clog after clog…for about 2 weeks…then it’s all ok.
Next…the Acetone paint separates like Vinegar and Oil. I was told by 2 striper that it only takes one day to completely separate. AND…they couldn’t keep up with the Re-mixing in their truck.
But…I subbed a job to another striper who used Acetone. It shot beautifully and dried…right now! AND…there is NO pick up.
Last…if I lived in a hot climate…( we have Winter here )…I would NEVER use ANYTHING else BUT…LATEX.
I have a video on my site talking about Outdoor Striping Paint…and what I use…and most importantly…why I use it.
Let me know if you need a discount!
