Guz:
Would any of the coatings that end up being "tacky" when cured benefit from being cured with an infra-red light rather than ambient-air cured? Most hobbyist do not have such IR lighting for curing. It may become one of those detailing equipment items that goes from nice-to-have to an absolute necessity to get the most out of some coatings. Just asking, since I know NOTHING about coatings.
"Tacky", I assume, is based on your tactile-touch or feel evaluation or are you dragging a "grabby" micro-fiber over the coating and feeling the resistance or drag it produces over the coating?
Your photos of applicators also begs to ask:
Are their specific microfiber or foam type applicators to be used for each manufacturer`s coating and are their specific microfiber cloths used for wipe-off with each manufacturer`s coating?? I was going to start a separate thread topic for this very question, but you have used a number of popular coatings in this test that are relevant for this question.
I am hoping BudgetPlan1 will chime in, as his extensive coating topic has taken on a life of its own. See:
Think I`m done messing around with coatings, final thoughts...
