I know the owner of Classic Fairlady, and I'll see if there's anything we
can do.
Regarding the Foam Brushes:
The viscosity of the POR is such that after the first brush stroke you apply
with a new brush after that the foam tends to stick to the surface and
before long you are picking bits and pieces of the foam out of the paint.
It literally disintegrates the foam. Personally, I found it much easier to
pick out the occassional hair from the el-cheapo brushes than to try to
fight the bits and pieces of foam brush left on just about every brush
stroke.
A quick hair removing tool you can make is simple:
Take a piece of wire, not too hard or stiff and using a utility knife cut
and bend out little tangs out of the general diameter of the wire on one
end. Imagine that you are creating barbs in the wire shank to prevent it's
being pulled out of something if you were to stab it into it. Then when you
find a hair in your paint, take your wire and place the barbed end over the
hair, rotate the wire just a bit and the barbs will grasp the hair... then
pull the hair out.
Thankfully, POR does flow out rather nicely and if you catch the hair
quickly enough, you won't even notice where it was.
FWIW
