Anyone used LIQUID 2 POWDER

[Guest]

I am messing with this stuff again today & still not having much luck. I am trying to paint some lines with it & it's tough to get a even coat. I tried mixing per directions, tried adding some water, tried mixing a little more liquid 2 powder in it, nothing seemed to really help. I am just wondering if anyone else has used it & did you have much luck? If it worked for you, then what were you steps & mixing ratio? If I get time today I am going to try to spray it too.

Re: Anyone used LIQUID 2 POWDER

I'm pretty sure you have to mix it using EQUAL weights of liquid and powder, not volume. You'll need a pot.........er........uh......... a gram scale

1 OZ of Powder to 1 OZ of Liquid.

I have a good digital pot...um..ya...gram scale & a bigger scale for shipping things. I started with equal parts. The directions say you can add water to thin it out. I was just listing every thing I have tried.

I am just wondering if any one has had luck with it. I remember a person on the EW forum saying they didn't have much luck ether, so I am seeing if any had any thing good come out with this stuff. I am guessing not since I haven't seen any pics from any body.

That may have been me over on the 'other' forum. I got a cup of the stuff from EW as part of a marketing research project and was sworn to secrecy - that was over a year ago and the product is still not in the catalog yet. I have no idea how many others may have been in on this, but I still haven't seen anyone come up with a way to make this work worth a damb. My biggest issue was not being able to get it mixed to a consistency that would give good even coverage. I don't think in it's current formulation, it'll ever work. I have no idea what it even is. I've thought about sending it to a lab to have it analyzed??

We will call some of our customers using this product and get post the feedback on this thread. I know the pictures under the product description are actual pieces that were done in testing.

I had a sample panel sprayed with L2P and it looked pretty good.

Re: Anyone used LIQUID 2 POWDER

I GO A LITTLE HEAVY ON THE POWDER THAN THE 50% CLOSE TO THE TEXTURE OF KETCHUP, I WAS ABLE TO PAINT THIN LINES AND LETTERS,PAIN IN THE BUTT,BETTER LUCK SPRAYING.

Right on I couldn't remember who it was, I think some use the L2P too. I am encountering the same problems as you. I'm just hopping there is a trick I haven't figured out yet. I sure would be nice just to paint on the letter instead of spraying with powder.

Right on. Thanks, I could sure use some tips.

I will give that a try too. I haven't had the chance to spray it yet. Where you using a airbrush or a regualr paint gun? I have a little touch up gun I was going to use. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Anyone used LIQUID 2 POWDER

I was reading on this stuff on PBTP and I have a question. It says you can spray or brush it on wood or plastic, but it also says it needs to be cured. Am I misunderstanding this?

Re: Anyone used LIQUID 2 POWDER

Here is what I know......

Some companies powder coat MDF (wood), but it take a special powder to do this of course with a lower heat to cure. Same goes on plastics, but some plastics are hi-temp and can handle 400+ f.

NOW THIS COMES FROM THE RUMOR MILL!

I have heard you can spray this over a substrate that can not handle 400+ f. How? Well from my source and this is not PBTP. You spray the L2P and then air dry. Now place in the oven at 180f or less and bake for around 20 mins, Then take out let cool and there is a top coat that you can spray with the same or better qualities then some powder that will lock in everything and I think that product cures at 180 f for 20 mins.
