Do you have to heat set the Tiger Epo Strong before sanding or can you let it cure for a few days and sand before heat setting it?

[@CrosslincBiz]

You can either let it cure ambiently (it will full cure with no heat in 2-3 days) or you can force cure it in about 20 minutes. Only after it's cured can you sand.

nice! I am wondering how that might work on rim curb rash

[@CrosslincBiz]

If the rash is shallow enough to just blend out with a sander, that would be the best method. If the rash is deep enough that you need to add back in material, I would not recommend this filler. It's not rated to fill in very deep areas and would most likely chip out over time.

Thanks for the info!

How do you get the top coat to stick to the primer since there isn’t an electrical charge?

[@CrosslincBiz]

It's all about the gun settings. You keep the kV's down, and the powder just lays down on top of the primer.
