    That was a great demonstration of using that run scraping tool!
    On the cheap...here's a run scraping tip that I learned from a paint video I bought in the early 90's, that will work very well in many situations. It's not as easy to describe as it is to view it being done, but I'll try. Take a new single edge scraper blade and a new piece of 1500 wet or dry paper. Soak the paper with water and shake off the excess water. Lay the paper on a hard flat surface. A piece of glass is ideal. But a hard counter top works too. While holding the backing part of the single edge blade, with the wide sharp edge laying evenly on the paper, drag the blade across the paper, just in one direction, leaning the blade at about a 30 degree angle with the paper as you pull. Don't push the blade or go back and forth or side to side. Do not flip it over. Just drag/pull the blade across the paper in one straight direction, using light pressure on the edge as you drag it. Lift the blade off the paper and lay the edge back on a fresh part of the paper and drag it in the same straight direction again. Do it several times. The bottom side of the blade edge that you're sanding remains smooth as you pull it along the paper, but the top side of the edge "kicks up" a little bit as you're doing this, so you are creating a very tiny "bur" along that top side of the blade edge. Once you've done that, flip the blade over, so the "bur" side is now facing down. That will be your scraping side. So now you've created a fine scraper by basically dragging this blade edge across the ultra-fine wet sanding paper like this, creating a burred edge that you can scrape runs and other defects down with. It further helps to curve the blade. The curved blade helps to be more precise with your scraping. With the burred side of the blade facing down, place your thumbs on top of the blade, push down in the middle and bend the blade in a slight "U" shape, which makes the blade bowed, like a "smile" shape. The ends of the blade edge with be bowed upward. The center of the blade will be curved slightly downward. Pull the burred edge of the blade across the run or defect, angling the blade a bit as you drag it, and it shaves the defect down. Repeat the shaving until the defect is flat. The ends/sides of the blade being bent slightly upward keep them from digging into the paint surrounding the defect, while you're scraping. 1500 grit and 2000 grit paper was recommended in the video to make the scraper edge, but I've also used 1000 and 1200 paper for a little more aggressive bur. It's really a fast, simple thing to do. Just takes a lot of words to explain it 🙂.

  • @Jim-fe2xz
    @Jim-fe2xz 9 дней назад +1

    The razor blade tip to remove runs is a great tip. A good way to prepare the blade is to slightly bend it to create a slightly curved shape, then using 400 grit wet or dry paper on a hard surface hold the blade straight up and pull it across the paper with the curved side out. This creates a microscopic bur on the outside curved side and this is what does the cutting. It can be resharpened if necessary. The curve helps keep the corners of the blade away from the surface. Hold the blade at a slight angle - just enough to get it to cut pulling it in the cutting direction only. As always thank you for all of your great tips!

    When I use a razor blade I round the corners also but tape the ends to ensure when scraping the highest part of the run I don’t accidentally make to deep a scratch. Once it’s closer I remove the tape go a little more before switching to sand paper.

    What rpm do you cut and buff with?
    I typically wet sand runs in a few stages. Every 4 to 12 hours. Using hot water helps the clear not curl on the paper. I find that once you break the hard shell of the clear, it helps expedite the drying process. Once it’s hard, I scrape it down with a razor.
    I know some people like the body filler trick, but I don’t like the idea of the chemical reaction drying process occurring on top of freshly sprayed clear. Clear coat takes longer than most people realize to fully cure and stop releasing fumes.

    The best way I have ever used was to spread some polyester putty (2 part) over the run and the surrounding area. Wet sand the putty ONLY with like 600 until the putty and run is gone, then follow with 1000, 1500, 2500 etc and buff. Works great!

    You should really look into CSI Ceram-X polish as it's a 1 product cut and buff system that's water-based, so no BS fillers like many of the legacy products contain. Wysiwyg with CSI. Just go from wool to foam and it can pull out 1000 grit scratches with ease, so 2k-3k is super fast and easy. Tom Horvath us the owner and developer of the system, really good guy and honest. Worth a look for sure.

If he gets a run on another job? He’s gone. He said as far as I’m concerned we have the top line spray booth. So! Any problems are the sprayers lack of ability.
    Then he said to me,you must know back at the dealership,that we have had to let two sprayers go! The two we have now are top line!
