Post Lizard Skin Lessons

Thought I'd post some lessons learned from using Lizard Skins Sound Control product on my door skins .... in case someone was wondering!

The product is very easy to use ... provided you purchase their applicator gun, and the clean up is with water and soap. Mixed with the paddle provided and applied the first coat yesterday and let it dry, I tried to use the included WET FILM GAUGE to test thickness ... that just made a mess and confused me (simple minded), think credit card .036 thou and they want no less than .040 in two applications. That's the goal.

I used a plastic serving spoon to get it into the pot from the pail ... instead of pouring, cuz when it's done there is product left from the siphon angle and the spoon will get the remains out and back into the pail will little waste.

I used about 45 psi at the gun with a turn and a half on the adjustment tip for the second coat and you can see the texture it left .... more product more stipple, more air more drier dimpled look.

I used a razor blade to clean the edges that had over spray, you can sand and paint the product after it has fully dried ... and that is cool


Just after the second coat was sprayed!

Cured and dry!


Had other pictures but ImageShack is acting up with mongo pictures .....
Any questions, please ask.
