    Crystal seal

    Received an order and bought the 8oz bottle this time but on application noticed a difference in that the coating dried to a haze, tried a few methods on application with nice thin coats but on every cure the panels dried to a white powder haze in which buffed off with ease but on previous this wasn`t an issue.
    Any reason why?

    Re: Crystal seal

    did you thoroughly clean/polish the paint before applying ? could be reacting with something still on the paint.

    Re: Crystal seal

    I`ll get some minor streaks if I apply to heavy once in a while. Usually a RW after 24 hours takes care of it. Never had it be powder-like though.

    Good question above though, on the paint being clean. Did you polish before? If so, did you do an IPA wipedown before applying CS? If not, it could be some polish residue that is emulsifying and then drying as you apply CS wet and then it flashes.

    Re: Crystal seal

    Thats very strange. I have never had an issue where it dried like that. I might get some small streaks if I over applied it in some areas but those are easily removed with a MF towel.
