I do, doesn't hold up too well in high traffic areas and can have a long dry time depending on the weather. Use both regular hydrophast and premium hydrophast which is brighter. Mostly white, I find the yellow to be more orange. $38/pail hydrophast and $45/pail for premium hydrophast.

This morning we were striping a lot and noticed that the lines were looking as if they had an hourglass look to them. What would cause this we are running the same pressure that we always do.

You be havin' a paint restriction somewhere in the system causing the supply line to starve for paint and/or pressure somewhere between the gun and the pump. Clean your filters first. Make sure your hose is of adequate length (or if you are using a short hose, there is a long one "open" to the system.) If you are using s short hose, there isn't enough surface area internally to provide a "reservoir effect" needed to smooth out the drop in pressure as the pump cycles.
