SLT785 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I sent an email to Solarez asking about humidity effecting the application. You can thin Solarez by heating it up, not by using acetone or denatured alcohol. There is a tech data link on each products webpage and a FAQ Page. Check the website before trying it.

Jdeee Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I wouldn't think humidity would be a factor considering this product is designed to be used to make or repair surfboards, and surfboards are mostly made near seasides which always have high humidity.

jonister Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think my problem was either not letting the lure drip long enough, or it was too cold or colder than the recommended temp. Sure, it says it pours down to -20, but do you really think it pours good around that condition? im not saying my garage is that cold, but i think a heater really helped. . PS, my duck lure didnt really turn out, the feathers layed nicely on the back but got ruined on the head and it lost all detail, i striped it and am starting over.

Jdeee Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I apply the solarez inside my attached heated garage, but I have cured it outside in -22C temps, that's very cold. I don't like to put chemicals in my food nuker, so what I do sometimes to make it thinner is fill a bowl with boiling water and place the solarez container in it. It makes it really thin once it warms up and it stays thin for quite a while until the water starts to cool. Duck feathers, probably will take time to master a good technique, go slow and make sure it completely cures before moving to the next layer.

SLT785 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Reply from Solarez: Gary Fisher; Hi 1) it is advisable to gently stir the resin before using (especially glosss resin or sanding resin that has "surfacing agent" in it) 2) humidity does not affect most Solarez products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
