Solvent for silicone spray

[John Beardslee]

I have a painting project on a composite. I sprayed it with krylon rattle can and I've got a couple of small spot that have wrinkled. I've cleaned and prep'd a second and third time. I suspect it may be contaminated with spray silicone. I've tried all the usual solvents and cleaner and nothing seems to get rid of it. I tried sprayng my hands and nothing seems to cut the silicone.

Thanks in advance, John

What the "composite"? Which Krylon? Maybe not compatible?

John........what Terry asked plus try methyl alcohol first. If it is in the "composite" you may never get it out.

if it wrinkled, it's not silicone. silicone will cause fisheyes.

Moparbarn Jr is right, The solvents in the krylon are wrinkiling the paint underneath.

Hi Terry,

Sorry, I missed a couple of days - down state for Dr's app'ts. It is a foam core with polyester resin and glass inside and out. Out of 2 cans I've used I have maybe 4 spots that would be no more than 4 sq.in. that wrinkled.

Thanks, John

Hi Travis,

Now I remember why Tom Daniels (3D Marine) never allowed silicone in his shop -- the fish eyes. Okay now I know it is not the silicone, I can look for something else.

Rick, I used "Iso, denatured, also automotive paint prep (wax - grease remover) but couldn't bring my self to tap my last gallon of Methanol, the Logghe drum is now empty.

Thanks everyone for all your help!

John

Hi Ray,

Thanks, I'll get at it and do a thread too so more may notice. I still haven't spent anytime going through our tubs to find the 1972 Internats slides but hope to before heading south.

When I showed some of these to Terry Keeley and Gary Preusse at Flint last spring, Terry noticed the one with John Bridge, Jerry Betke, Harold Tuttle and I and realized the trees in the background are still there.
