    Too warm for PBL Paint Coating?

    I know PBL Paint Coating likes warmer weather for application, but what is too warm? I'm in Phoenix and I would expect the air temps to be in the low 90's with less than 10% humidity.

    Will it flash to quickly if working panel by panel? My concern is being able to level high spots quickly enough.

    Re: Too warm for PBL Paint Coating?

    Far away from giving any weather technical explanation,

    but if you're concerned about flashing and high spots, I'd do the following:

    work it ~16x24 (size of a MF towel) based on my application tips posted here:

    Original thread: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...ml#post1094925

    I prefer foam wax applicators:



    Mentally divide the area in smaller sections, prime the applicator (1-2 mists), then mist the surface in one of suggested patterns (or by your preference), ONLY ONE section at a time, bellow you'll see four sections:



    Spread it fast (don't need to go crazy here) up / down until covering whole surface:


    Then, do the same, side to side


    Work product in circular motions (like spreading a thin coat of wax), again, nothing crazy, just work section 1 time this way, 2 at maximum if you feel the need.


    'Smooth' pass the applicator (no pressure here) over surface up / down to level application.


    Immediately after the above process (which may take ~1 minute), wipe off with a MF towel.

    After finishing a whole panel (or half a panel, if large panel), do a final wipe on the whole panel, to guarantee a streak free application.

    My tips above are just some ideas for you add to your actual coating application method, not the only or better way to do it.

    Hope that helps,

    Kind Regards.
