Hi everyone, looking for help getting out of a jam!
Almost done with a board, glassing with Resin Research epoxy and wanted to do a pink stripe near the rails.
I glassed with epoxy, did the hot coat, then sanded to 220.
Taped off the pinlines and sprayed them with “Rustoleum Painters Touch” from Home Depot. It never occured to me to check the compatibility of the paint with the resin or anything else, I made the mistake of just grabbing the first/cheapest spray paint I could find. It’s an oil based spray.
Let the paint dry overnight and nexy day did the epoxy gloss coat. As it was drying, it kind of “beaded up”, or curdled, where the paint was. Some areas are fine, most are not… I’m attaching a photo.
What should I do? Sand the pink off completely and try again with different paint? Use the same paint, but seal with acrylic before the gloss coat?
The board doesn’t have to be perfect, it isn’t going to be in a museum. But I’d like it to look better than it does now, and to learn from my mistakes…
Thanks in advance,
-Jack
