Default Had alot of trouble with SIP AND 106 today

It was really humid but cool and i had all kinds of problems today. It kept caking up the pad and spitting off in balls of polish. I changed the pad twice and brushed the pad after each pass and nothing worked then i tried mixxing some optimum AIO thought that might help but nothing. It just wouldnt flash and i had trouble getting it off the paint even with the IPA wipe down. It was the only polishes i had with me so i stuggled all day long. Ive had it be tempermental before but nothing like this,,has anyone had any luck mixxing something in when this happens? I need to find another polish pair to use when something like this happens any ideas?

What temp, what machine, what pads, what speed were used?

It was 65 - 67 d here and I had no problems with M105, SIP, 106FF using Flex DA / Makita...

ive noticed sip with the flex is tempermental. Usually if i have it above 5.5, it starts to cake and not spread nicely.

Lance, I'm assuming you're using it in Amazon Rain Forest humidity down there?

Also, what pads did you use?

Sounds like a great reason to get M105 and some UF.. ha ha...

You can add some optimum polish to the mix and it may help.

ive read the 105 can be a pain in the ass too sometimes, was thinking about giving system one a try for times when the menzerna is not cooperating.

From what I've been told, you aren't supposed to work SysOne very long at all. Pick it up on the paint, work the area quickly (6"/sec maybe), wipe off and inspect.

Bah, going to check the bottle...
