It is only first coat that is required to be well bonded to metal. It does not matter what first coat looks like. This dries quickly, and has less chance to trap moisture.
Cold conditions are never good to dry any thing. you must adapt to climate changes.
With cleaning out your coating container, this is a NO NO. It is a waste of materials.
All you have to do, is add a little Acetone only, and uncoated cast to mixing/coating container, and shake coat with residue in container that has built up.
This can be considered as your first coat.
You can re-dissolve or recycle this coating as many times as you want until you bake it. Once you bake it, it cant be recycled.
I don't know what it is, with trying to scrape coating off with finger nails????
What is this test????
If coating passes smash test and wont wipe off with solvent, why would you try to scratch it off with finger nails?
I just don't understand this.
