Can I apply Opticoat2 with microfiber pad?

[Jim B]

Hi all, OC2 comes with a foam applicator. Has anyone tried to apply OC2 with a MF applicator? I'm thinking the mf pad won't "stick" as much. Right, wrong? :dunno: Thanks for your input!

You can use any applicator you like. I've tried foam, microfiber, shop towels (blue roll), neoprene and probably more. My only complaint with MF is that it tends to leave a thick spot at the end of your stroke when you change directions. Watch for that and you'll be fine.

Whoo Hoo! Got the OC2 guru's reply!:bowdown: Thanks, Chris!

I agree with my buddy Chris. I follow up with a second MF about a minute later. I prefer MF pads over all else!

So you use a MF applicator, then a minute later use a new MF applicator to wipe the area you OC'd to make sure you have no high spots?
