    Opti gloss coat Mishap

    At one point the syringe got stuck and shot the Gloss Coat in the air and I didn't realize it went on the side windows, B pillars and the freshly coated Opti-Gloss side I just did. When I returned to that side there were spots on the glass, trim and the paint what do U think I should do.

    Yes...You'll need to polish
    off all unwanted "spotting".

    Always pull back on syringes before plunging if they have been sitting for a bit.

    I bet OptiCoat would harden if you put it a bottle like the CQuartz one. You can get hardening from just a little air bubble if you don't burp the syringe before putting the cap back on. Its too thick for an eyedropper

    I tried my hardest to get all of the air out of my remaining OptiCoat in the syringe. There is still a tiny bubble, abou the size of half a peppercorn. Will that cause it to harden?

    I have some Opti Coat 2.0 from 3 years ago. Last time I used it (last week) there was a large air bubble in the tube. And the product has not hardened or anything. Gloss Coat is supposed to be friendlier to use, so I would expect it to be even more resistant to issues like that.

    Not a tiny one. Sounds like you tried to burp it. A big bubble like you forgot to burp it... yes

    So you think it would work in a Carpro spray bottle?
