systems 3 mirror coat questions

Whenever epoxy becomes cloudy , most likely from a temperature change, take the bottles and place them in some warm water to warm the epoxy up. It works, the stuff gets crystals in it from cold, then when it warms up it clears up.
Don't use it when it is cloudy.

Maybe the varnish has gotten old, try some fresh stuff, maybe that is why the adhesion trouble.

whenever i have problems with fisheyes, its because I didnt wipe the plug down well enough with alcohol....

just my 10 cents.

It was a brand new can of varnish, and I did them sunday morning so it had 2+days to dry. Only thing I can think of is that I sprayed them outside, maybe polen or catapillar crap or something got into it when it was wet and it can't stick to it.??

I'll try and warm it up the epoxy tonight and see if that clears up the epoxy.

I scuffed em real good, but maybe something did get got on em outside so I'll give em the alchohal rub like Eben said and see if that does anything.

The spots were small, like size of pinheads, so its not like it was from my hands, whch would have made nice big finger sized problems....

Thanks for the help, i'll post some pics when they're done...

sounds like you have an alcohol problem...

always always always rub it down, even if you sand.

ya what Eben said, not enough alchohol.

I just had a problem with staying tacky (mirror coat)... running air conditioner in same room as the epoxy being stored on the bottom shelf of cabinet. I think because both parts were chilled before I mixed them chemical reaction was lame .. Happened twice in a row .. never ever had a problem with that stuff .. Tried some clear coat I had stored in the basement (no ac)hard next morning ..no tacky ..
