water beading while applying Meguiar's #20

It's called sweating...

It happens with some products that rely on some amount of water for a carrying agent instead of solvents. My guess this is in part because of the strict V.O.C. laws in America and specifically California.

Nothing to worry about...

What we have here is a term used in the detailing world known as "Sweating"

It cause is mainly due to meeting the goverments VOC laws.

No need to Sweat it though. Just wipe off as you normaly would. You might need an addition towel

Hope I have been of help to you

.....The large file sizes were intentional here. My attempt was to updload these large files so that I could illustrate what was happening with the product.

Unfortunatley, I don't have any "everyday" computer monitors in my studio, all monitors are calibrated and color corrected on a regualr basis. So it was hard for me to determine if these images would have shown what I was attempting to demonstrate, had I FTPd a low rez file.

In the future, I'll simply put a link up to show the digital file, vs. inserting an image.

Has your question...."Any reason for water to bead up while applying Meguiar's #20 sealant on gel coat?"... Been sufficiently answered?

(IMO, Mike Phillips & Flash pretty much nailed it)

Here's one of your pictures that I downloaded, cropped out the fluff just leaving the meat of the picture and the resized to 800 pixels wide, it still gets the point across and no one has to horizontal scroll to see the entire picture...

You choice, if you read enough of my posts you'll see I offer a few tips to anyone posting pictures just to help out...


I post a lot of pictures to forums and a good rule of thumb is to resize to 800 pixels wide so your reader doesn't have to horizontal scroll. I discuss this in-depth in one of the links I provided above...

Just a friendly tip to anyone reading this that works with photos on discussion forums...
