So after several failed attempts I figured out the problem. It's not dust. it's hundreds of micro bubbles. I'm painting in cold 50 degree temperature and not thinning my paint enough, AND, I'm putting the paint on too heavy. I'm now thinning with one shot low temp reducer and using just...
Thanks.
I keep using one shot because that is what I know. It's what I was taught 30 years ago. Latex is not going to offer that high-gloss sheen of an enamel paint.

I have recently purchased the Shapeoko router for my shop. Turned out to be a good purchase. It cost less than my vinyl cutter. At $1,800 definitely worth a look. Comes as a kit and has a 33" x 33" cutting area. I think the z axis has 4". Here are some images of the table and a cool little...
I agree with you 100% Mr. Burton. I am not sure why we all cant just get along and follow the rules. Architects! Ugh!
I could walk away but they feed me a lot of work and I have bills to pay. So I look the other way.
