[Boatanchors] Fwd: Wrinkle Paint (VHT)

[Alan Gutfrucht]

I tried the same exact thing on my 75A-3 with the VHT wrinkle. Blasted to
bear metal, applied two coats maybe 15 minutes apart (crisscross pattern)
and then applied heat. Mine resulted in an uneven finish. It looked great
in some areas and other areas had a lesser wrinkle - so it was very
noticeable. The only difference was that I did use the heat gun. Maybe
that was my mistake.

How to apply
The process goes as follows (50 years of perfecting) surface stripped to
bare metal (important) prepped/cleaned with lacquer thinner, apply two
thin coats 20 min apart , wait 10 min then apply a 250w heat lamp to
achieve the wrinkle depth. The more heat the the deeper the wrinkle. Did a
Collins 75A3 cabinet last year, applied a overcoat of St. James grey .
Fabulous results .  Heating the can in hot water helps, increased can
pressure better atomizing . Only use a heat lamp not a gun ,heat guns with
forced air  dry the paint too quickly and have little control .
