So I have been doing some experimentation over the past month with this stuff as I have been meaning to for awhile. I have found that even though it has a limited time before it completely hardens in the can that you can extend this time in cold storage. I stretched an entire can to almost 3 weeks time by storing it in the back of my refrigerator. Now, I am not sure what my temperature is in there so I'm sure your mileage will vary. I was able to clear a mini playfield, a full size playfield, and two 1/24 scale model car bodies. In the end I was left with maybe 2-3 oz's of clear. I sprayed it out onto a test piece of black painted styrene to check for clarity and got tons of tiny bubbles, so if you plan to try this like I did and you have 2-3 oz's left throw it out. I have found that in a 60-65 degree climate the clear will last in the can unsolidified 3-4 days tops.

Love this stuff!!!

I have done 19 playfields with these cans so far, and even have been able to do a widebody Gottlieb with a single can, so it is definitely doable. On average I can lay down 7-8 coats per field. I do two light coats and let those set for 2 minutes each and then I lay down the remaining coats back to back with zero issues. In the end I only have to wet sand with 1200 grit, polish, then finish.

I saw your ad on CL earlier this week. Great work!!! I too am an avid user and lover of SM2k

I had that contamination on a Space shuttle field. A trick that I found was that if you take a brass wire brush and scrub the contaminated area in a circular motion while the clear is still wet the area smooths out like it should, then you can continue applying clear

I keep seeing your Craigslist ad. Excellent work!!!! You seem to keep pretty busy. I had to pull my ad due to way to many replies Lol. It's astounding the amount of people that need fields done. What are you paying per can for Spraymax? We're at $21.90 each out here.

His price is spot on. The other shops around here want $30 a can. If my local place is out I buy from here..

Yeah, definitely laid on to thick

I personally would sand it flat, then hit it with a few very light dust coats built up until it looks like glass and be done with it. Then wet sand and polish

You don't plan on sanding that flat to get the wrinkles out? Your post sounds like you want to just let it dry and then just spray it again. My apologies if I misunderstood
