????? For Llumar Users

bman848 · February 1, 2016

I made the switch to Llumar a couple months ago from Johnson. So far i love the film but have a couple issues. I have been using the ATC, ATR and CTX. I have noticed that the Lulu glue is not as aggressive as im used to. I have adjusted by not using as much slip. I have also noticed that this film takes a long time to dry out completly. With this cold weather lately ive been noticing that the blisters are not baking out for up to 3-4 weeks. Is this normal for Llumar or should i swap soap or something?? I am a baby shampoo slip kinda guy.

If anyone can give some helpful advice, i sure would appreciate it.

Thanks!!

No, that is not normal. I have been using F-1/Llumar for 5 years now and never had that problem. You said you used Johnson? Which one?

We just became a Llumar dealer, but not does not sound normal as far as the dry time. We did CTX on the front doors on a SUV 2 weeks ago and it came back the following week to have the rest done. The front doors had no bubbles left and it was in the 40-55 range for that time period. Now with Huper Optik Ceramic it could take 3-6 weeks to fully cure in the winter.

I have used yellow turbos for years and even started using orange crush for the Llumar lately because it feels like i can get a little more torque on it. My final pass is always a little blue foot triangle with a doubled paper towell.
