Glad to hear that. I’m trying to find a balance where I am actually able to earn a living out of making videos whilst still keeping them relevant and informative. I’m hoping these will do the trick as there are lots more in the pipeline.
Thanks, I haven’t used an automotive clear. My concern would be that they are not developed for application to wood and therefore maybe don’t have as much elongation or are designed for such high build volumes (to fill the wood grain)? Two part clear varnishes are happy building 20 plus coats but automotive probably doesn’t ever have a need to go above 4 coats I’d guess? I don’t really know though that’s just my initial thoughts.
Could be an interesting experiment. The custom guys doing flake and candy certainly use multiple coats and an automotive environment can be every bit as harsh as above the waterline marine in terms of UV, vibration, heat, pollution, impact. Etc.@@DanLeeBoatbuilding
2k clears work very well over wood. It's an exceptionally flexible finish. The activator is unfortunately very nasty stuff for your health. I've had great results with both.
I am working on a classic boat and I have cherry wood interiors varnished that need to be re-done. Can I use epifanes products or I have to use different one?
Yes of course, they are ideal for that! If you don’t want to spray then their polyurethane clear is designed for brush or roller application with similar results 👍
I really enjoy your videos, but I please take a better care of your health, especially because you're doing it on professional basis. In the Safety Datasheet B they mention: In case of intensive or longer exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air. I used their other 2K PU clearcoat, less aggressive and even it was quite a nasty stuff, it dissolves some plastic in no time. I was wearing fullmask +3M vapor filters and tyvek costume and I would use supplied air respirator if I did PU coating regularly.
I probably spray these products at most once a month right now which I wouldn’t consider intensive. That being said, an air fed mask is one of the next things on my list to purchase.
