I had a couple of questions on the langka use. It says you first fill the chip with pain, let it dry at least a few hours, and then wrap a cloth around the card, put some of the compound and rub across the "blob" to level it.
1)How thick of a rag should i use to cover the card? cotton tshirt, regular microfiber, terry cotton towel? Does it make a difference?
My thought process on this was to use a material (I hate the word rag.. ha ha) that has very little/no nap. Reason being is I did not want the nap to get into the scratch and remove some of the touchup.. I used an old cotton pillow case that I cut up.
2)Also how do you rub accross it, with the flat side of the card or the edge (as in a squeegie)?
I don't have much luck using the "squeegie" method. I just wrap a card (any card can be used, thin flexible ones are the best like a blockbuster membership card).
I then use moderate rubbing pressure to remove the "blob" once I can see that the paint is starting to level out I ease up on the pressure being applied.
Very similar to polishing using a product that can correct yet finish lsp ready, start with pressure and then once the correction is complete ease up on the pressure to "jewel"
3) Will langka work on older paint blobs (eg. more than the 24 hour time it says to wait)? i have a chip that has a blob on it cos i never got around to use the langka on it yet but it's been there for about a month.
Worth a try, longest i've waited was 2 days only because the nature of the touch-up paint needed that long to cure... when I tried 24 hours the paint still was coming out of the scratch.
Thanks!!
Any other questions?
If not good luck!
