Bonding issues … use Additive F in your lams and you don’t have that.
Aluzine coming to the surface? … that’s amine blush. Aluzine is a brand name and there is no chemical called aluzine. Additive F eliminates blush. Soap and water are unnessasary if you use it.
Sand the laminate good and essentially gloss that. Can be done and done well.
Hot coating when the laminate is tacky will save you time but it can be done on a cured laminate as well. Blush is the one thing that will cause bonding issues. Add F is the cure.
from what I’ve seen it seems to be more prevalent in aluzine epoxy than RR epoxy but maybe its just the Additive F that makes the difference and not the base resin.
Some of us used to think that additive F was a hot coat surface prep for sanding like epoxy wax additive but it seems like its more of a surface tension “relaxer” kind of like what we do by thinning out a coat with xylene.
i’ve also heard wiping down with too much dematured alcohol causes problems as well to make gloss coat “fall off” the sanded hot coat onto the floor.
its an amazing sight to see when the gelling resin starts falling off the side of the desk in sheets
any reason why you don’t seem to have these glassing problems with PU or UV but with more with epoxy?
is it the smell?
oh and you normally get bonding issues because you didn’t grease your rating agency with enough “grease”
