I sell paint as some of you know. I recently gave a gallon of our Single Stage Urethane and the activator to a painter to try out. I have not seen his facilities but I think there is no booth. He painted a frame and the color is black. Anyway after he painted it he complained that there was overspray everywhere and the floor was sticky for a while. He says other brands he's sprayed don't do that.
Now, I have sprayed alot of SSU. In the past 3 years it's been our brand and it does create alot more sticky overspray than base/clear or even enamels. The floor does get sticky with stuff stuck to my shoes during subsequent coats, especially with items being sprayed close to the ground. I still shoot mostly with a conventional gun but I do have a booth. But before 3 years ago I shot PPG DAU and DuPont Imron with EXACTLY the same phenomina. I remember actually having a slippery build up of DAU on my shoes after shooting a 38 Ford.
So, I contend that this is just the nature of SSU in general and not brand specific. SSU is just much stickier to spray.
So what is your opinion? Is it true that SSU in general makes a mess of the surroundings or am I just totally off?
Thanks!
