Hello bluedunn, (fly fisherman perhaps)?

In this case I would suggest not using Hydro2 on freshly coated paint, I would stick with Reload. Sorry to hear of the unfortunate mishap with your bottle. If you are in the US, PM me your address and I'll send you out a few ounces of Reload so that you may complete the task at hand. Free of any charge of course.

[bluedunn]

avid fly fisherman ,you must be also as you know what a bluedun is lol thanks for the advice and the very kind offer unfortunately I live in Canada ,I might have to beg my brother to let me use his garage or something but I will not use the hydro as you advised just hate to see the work be shot through my own neglect and stupidy I wonder if I should remove the cquarts before it sets completely and just cover with hydro until I get some reload then start over any thoughts on that process ?

Yes a very avid fisherman here as well!

No, do NOT remove the CQUK! Keep the vehicle dry for 24 hours after application and you will be fine.

So very sorry this happened! Bastards should be strung up!

[bluedunn]

I agree, went to the cops, because the insurance company need a police report ,it was like pulling teeth to get them to even look at the vehicle, I know they are busy ,but when I told them I would kill the b*****d,s all of a sudden they get concerned for the criminals well being that really p***ed me off, oh well. ps I don't have an update yet on the cquk until I get the car back from the shop ,I left strict instructions for the dealership :Not: to wash the car in any shape or form ,I usually do this any way so hopefully it will all work out in the end

Hey Blue,
