Well, I did the two jobs calling for the liquid thermo, and I would have to agree with you guys.... It sucked. I usually spray SW solvent base setfast or promar and I like them a whole better than this stuff.. I would never buy it again by choice.. The SW hotline is a much better latex to work with. I love my "oil" paints though.
i bid on a job a couple months ago that requiring "hot applied Thermoplastic", well one of my competitors send the specs and info about liquid thermo to the engineer, and they approve it just because it was call "liquid thermo", i dont think they have any idea what the difference is, now six months later, the liquid thermo is all gone.
I started a big job locally doing stop bars and text with beads this week using Ennis latex. Great results when I saw it dry within 1 minute and ready for traffic! Nice and bright color fastness too using a .319 tip. This is the second year I'm using Ennis WB and am very happy with it. SW Hotline took a big jump in the last 2 years of almost 20% here. Bye,bye SW? Liquid TP fools a lot of people with its' name. Maybe, that is what they wanted to do by calling it that?
