Coos Cues
So I decided to give Solarez another look and broke out the lamp and the resin.
I thought everything was going great. Looked promising. layed it on top of zinsner shellac sanding sealer. After I went through all the grits and polished it the result was absolutely gorgeous. Until I noticed some little tiny pin holes here and there. Stood out now because they are full of polish compound. Not a lot but of course one is way too many. They really stand out against black.
Should I be sanding between coats? Could it be because the product is old? Been sitting here a couple of years. It cures just as expected with my solacure lamp.
And then I decided to try the "I can't believe it's not lacquer" and the only thing I can't believe about it so far is it won't cure. Contacted Wahoo and they blamed the wood so I layed a coat on top of cured poly resin on a test piece to see what would happen. Three hours out in the direct sunlight and it still feels rubbery to the touch. That was after a half hour under the lamp made it dry enough to move outside only. And you're supposed to sand this between coats? The grain filler i got with it cured in about 2 minutes. Wahoo also suggested my lamp lacked power even though it's exactly what they recommend. And it cures all their other products. The sun is not lacking power though.
I hate to give up on these products if I'm right on the brink of success.
Any experience that might help me? I'm getting low on sand paper.
Thanks,
