Guide coat
I was just curious if anyone has used the 3M guide coat applicator? Its kind of like a powder puff, a guy told me if I ever used one I'd never go back to the rattlecan. AL

I use it often. A bit pricey but it's worth the extra cost. Works as advertised and no smelly fumes.
If I can just keep from dropping it on the floor and creating a black dust cloud I would be OK.

I have used it in the paint shop since its first introduction in the shops 6-7 years ago .
Its a great product and I also have my body men using it over their last skim coat of body plastic to make sure its straight .
The product goes along ways too .
And it will not contaminate your primer if sprayed over , like in pin holes small imperfections , or if you have a bad low area and needs a skim coat of Polyester Puddy for getting the panel straight .

I got a can and tried it on some Harley tanks and fenders. It is different but it works good and I line the non contamination thru pinholes factor. BTW if the picture attaches here is a quick and cheap tank stand I made from a roller stand. I have another one made up htat holds fenders and saddle bags. Al
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
