Yeah, I use the "featherfill" term like "kleenex" for facial tissue. And I guess I am old.
The loophole for avoiding waterborne is to bring it in from out-of-state.
Before someone attacks, I'm not endorsing that, but it happens and did in this case.
Waterborne materials are much more expensive than solvent-base, not to mention the booth requirements, etc.
Whatever happened here, it's obviously substandard quality vs what's advertised.
We're fixing that by stripping & re-doing the car, but the shock of what we found pi**es me off especially after being BS'd by the man himself.
