Just got some. Is it supposed to leave sticky stuff on the surface?

 

Sounds like it's too tacky!!

Tack cloth is typically used in woodworking, but can be used in other applications as well. Tack cloth works by causing the dust, dirt, and wood particles to stick to the cloth as it is wiped over the surface of the material being cleaned. Tack cloth is sticky enough to pick up the dust, but not so sticky as to leave behind a residue on the material being prepared for finishing. Tack cloths are usually about 12 inches square (25 cm), although the actual size may vary quite a bit. They are typically used after sanding a woodworking project, just before applying the finish.

 

yeah got some bondo brand. May be too sticky. On a positive note, VHT has gloss black epoxy available. Just bought a couple cans of the rustoleum. Got a can of the VHT and am trying it out. Probably better than the rustoleum stuff.

 

Rub very lightly. I buy this stuff by the case in my shop. It is used for paint and body work, to pick up fines left from sanding. Try rubbing a little lighter. Hope that helps.

 

the minute it touched the metal, It stuck right to it. And to my hands too.

 

It may have been in the heat before. Try another clothe. What are you wanting to do here ,if you don't mind me asking?

 

wiping down a surface for application of gloss black epoxy paint. Never used the stuff before so thought I'd try it out.
While on the subject... I tend to loose the gloss on the black as it dries. Too Humid(live in Florida)? I could move parts to a climate controlled area indoors for paint and drying instead of the garage if the humidity is the reason. If I just need more coats than I have done in the past I can do that too. Could not tell ya the exact humidity right now, It's not raining though.

 

How are you shooting it? Gun or rattle bomb? Alot of bombs say gloss , but actually cure out semi gloss.I'd be glad to help if I can.

 

rattle can epoxy. It starts out deep gloss black. I have used same paint before and seen it used on others bikes and it came out glossy, but somehow not really coming out that way for me. I am figuring that the humidity is the problem, but, not certain. If Humidity can turn a gloss into more of a semi gloss.

 

It would take a lot of humidity to make the paint cloud . It may be that particular can.
