ORIGINAL: Gordon Mc

No gloss added.

In each case, I mixed 6 parts of 2060 to 1 part of hardener (DCX61 ?), and four parts of reducer (DT860?). The instructions on the can are for 6 to 1 to 1 mixing, but I used a little more reducer to try to avoid having too heavy a coat laid down. Both mixes came from the same can of clear, hardener, and reducer. The only difference that I am aware of, is that they were sprayed on different days (because I had to re-do the vinyl on one wing).

Gordon, no expert here, but I have seen this once and the problem was that the semi-gloss appearance was caused by another coat being applied over the first at a later time (after it had dried for awhile). Whenever we shoot it now, we make sure to get it all done at the same time and not to re-shoot once it has dried.

Although I may have found your culprit, unfortunatlely, I do not have a cure. The one I'm referring to was never "fixed" and just left alone for fear of making things even worse. In your case, you may have to do something b/c it's a wing, our case was just a canopy.
