Opti-Bond Seperation

[bogi094]

So I have a small 4oz bottle of optibond/water mix and after 1 day it separates from the water. Not all separated as I did 1:1 or around 1:1.5 so some of it is still in the water itself. Purchased 2 weeks ago from AG, can you guys help me out?

Diluted 1:1 it separated in my garage, shook it up stored inside overnight and it did the same. As far as I know its not supposed to do this.

Mine does the same thing diluted 1:1. It's normal. I got tired of having to dilute it and having it separate, so I switched to optimum tire shine. This stuff is made to be put in a spray bottle and I love it! Don't get me wrong, if you shake the diltued opti-bod it works great, but optimum tire shine better suits what I want.

You guys must have a bad batch or something because my Opti-bond at 1:1 mix has not separated on me. It's been sitting on the shelve for over a month now because I found a new tire dressing.

I'm going to call optimum on Monday.

What tire dressing did you replace it with? Just curious...

I replaced it with Autoglym vinyl & rubber care. I find that it gives it a more cleaner new tire look, is more weather resistant and lasts a bit longer. Also the nice fresh lemon scent makes it nice to work with.

I switched from Opti-Bond to 1z-einzett

I don't think we got a bad batch. If you shake it before use, it should work exactly how it's supposed to. Opti-bond is a thick gel, it doesn't surprise me it separates in water. JMO.

Imagine that...

Well I was just saying mine has not separated and has sat on the shelf undisturbed for about a month. Then again I didnt order it from AG.

Understood. I didn't order it from AG either. :)

Interesting... I have some Opti-bond, from AG, and it does not separate in water. Something is fishy with your guys' non-AG Opti-bond....

Serves you right :p

Edit: I thought OP said his Opti-bond was not from AG as well... Still serves you right :p :p :p

This is very interesting, though. Two of us have opti-bond that searates in water, while two of you don't. I guess you two have magic water. I'm going to talk to Dr. G tomorrow.

:iagree:Opti Bond is my favorite tire dressing...never had a problem using it in a Spray Bottle, nor any problems with mixing, I always give it a good shaking before applying and my customers love the look.....not that greasy,slimy look.
