another question for the knowledgable sprayers
Hi there some of you may have followed this from me having problems spraying my mini and having the paint crack well thats all sorted, i have now
applied the lacquer and got a little problem that my gun seemed to give up right at the end and started dripping and has put big blobs in the first
coat of lacquer, i have continued to apply a 2nd coat now im not sure wether to rub the blobs down now then apply more lacquer (got loads left over
anyway) or apply more lacquer and then leave to harden and flat and buff out i will probably colour sand anyway but didnt know if it was a good idea
to get rid of the blobs now or later on any advice welecome Greg

Personally I'd get rid of them now, but I've never done it before

I'd leave the paint to cure a bit then sand the 'blobs' down with some 1500 wet and dry (must be on a sanding block) then buff up
with some rubbing compound, you'd never know they'd been there

Agreed, the more you overcoat the mistake the more difficult to remove.
If I get a blob, sag or whatever, I use an infra red patio heater type lamp to ensure the area is cured enough for rubbing out with Wet & Dry, dry
for primer, wet with a little soap on top coat and clear.
The thick blob will take longer to cure than the rest, hence the heat, and trying to rub it out before its cured will just knock the skin off and
leave an allmighty mess.
