Hi guys so I'm still busy making my carbonfiber/kevlar Keeperhelmet 

Hi

Sure. Spraying clearcoat in a mold is really tricky. I use highly polished molds and a chemlease release agent product that is super slippery.

When ever I tried to spray clear it would just bead up like crazy. No matter what I did it would not lay down.

I will share my big secret here. Make sure your mold is really warm to the touch. Make sure your clear coat is warm.

Now set your gun feed so nothing comes out. Slowly open your feed screw until your are spraying a fog like spray pattern. In other words barely any clear is coming out of the gun.

Fog in a light coat and wait 15 seconds. Fog in again wait 15 seconds keep going until you see a perfect wet layer.

Just don't get in a hurry to get to the wet coat. Doing this will prevent beading up.

By the way you can also spray PVA mixed with some water the same way. Fog it on, not spray it on and it will lay down a perfect coat.

Let me know how you make out.

PS I forgot to mention. You need to double the amount of reducer which lowers the viscosity.

thx for sharing that information, sounds like a good idea!
