I was first convinced that my problems were related to my wax and grease remover technique. Then I convinced myself that the reducer was causing the problems. I could spray the epoxy without reducer and have no problems. As soon as I would reduce it to use as sealer, instant fisheye. So I gave him a call and he told me that 90% of the issues with their epoxy reduced as a sealer were related to the pressure at the wall. Mine was at around 95 or so. He told me to take it up to 125. He also recommended 2.5 turns out on the fluid setting, and 24psi at the gun with the 1.3 tip I was using. I was running the fluid out at about 4-4.5 turns and 28 psi at the gun. After making all of those changes, the sealer laid down perfectly. I've had to call or text Barry a couple times, and every time he has been great. I can't say enough good things about SPI's customer service. So far, I'm impressed with the products I've used also. But, I'm a complete amateur, so take that for what it's worth
