I didn't want to use tack cloth, and it sounds like a quick swipe with mineral spirits would be a bad idea. If I am understanding correctly, it sounds like I should avoid thinner as it can cause wrinkling when reacting with the original coat. I can get most of it off with the air gun. Also, I would normally just wait a couple months for it to complete dry/cure, but I have a temporary spray booth in my garage that I need to take down to make space for a piece of equipment that is coming in the next week or two.
Those dekups sound like just what I need. I was using the touch-up gun because I can rotate the cup upside down. Unfortunately, this piece of machinery has more sweep curves that sharp edges. I could probably still do it, but the would be pretty big sections.
The plan is for now:
Clean the surface (Hopefully you guys have a recommendation)
Wait until tonight to reshoot (24 hours after sanding) first coat
Shoot a second coat tomorrow per TDS (8 hours after first coat)
If this sounds like a bad plan, I will modify.
