Hard lesson dont make my mistake

I had just finished spraying epoxy primer on the bed floor of the red white-red white 70 short I'm working on and instead of grabbing my gun wash thinner witch I am crazy low[ and parts store is 20 miles away] I grab the DX330 [wax and grease remover] I thought as I poured it in the cup I have never done this before. Well there is a good reason, as I was spraying to clean the gun it sprayed ok for a few seconds then stopped I thought well I didnt use much. I opened the top and it was horrible it had clabboared up in the cup. So if you have an hour to kill after spraying out a little epoxy primer grab the wgr. Or not and remember that I had warned you. Over 35 years experience and still do a bonehead thing once and a while. Jim

That's one of the reasons you can use it in the booth. To fix minor imperfections on freshly flashed sealer or base ( solvent based ) is because it doesn't mix with it. Dx330 is basically ultra refined mineral spirits. Definitely grab the DT or omni reducer next time.

Normally I do two washes before getting the naked gun out I do a laq thinner then a MR 186 wash to clean out the laq thinner. Just one of those days. Jim
