Alclad 2 Black Gloss Base. Drying issues
Hi, I just started playing with Alclad's paints and have had some drying issues with the gloss black base that alclad paints aparently need if you want those mirror shine results. Being the impatient person I am, and never reading directions I applied the chrome finish I wanted and started handling it after only about 1 or 2 hours, and discovered it was still tacky to the touch. While I later learned the stuff is supposed to have a 24 hour drying/curing time after finally reading the directions on the bottle, I also did a few searches and saw alot of people complaining that Alclad's Gloss Black Base takes forever to fully dry if ever. (also heard that all of Alclad's primers are not particularly good, any truth to this?)
Also is it true the gloss black base is not actully a lacquer but an enamel? If so why doesn't it say so on the bottle? Knowing that it makes sense why it's recommended to wait 24 hours for it to fully dry.
Any advice on dealing with this particular brand of paint is definitely welcome. Thanks!
