For 2K (two-component) paint systems, using the right tack rag is crucial to avoid defects like fisheyes, poor adhesion, or contamination. Here's what you need to know about using a yellow tag rag (tack cloth) for 2K paint:
✅ Yellow Tag Rag for 2K: Safe if It's Wax & Silicone-Free
Many yellow tack cloths are designed for general-purpose use, but for 2K systems, they must be:
-
Wax-free
-
Silicone-free
-
Non-greasy
-
Low-lint or lint-free
🔍 Typical Use of Yellow Tack Rags
Color | Typical Application | Safe for 2K? |
---|---|---|
Yellow | General purpose / Primer / 2K (if specified) | ✅ If wax/silicone-free |
Blue | Basecoat & Clearcoat (low-tack) | ✅ Best option |
Red | Heavy tack / Often waxy | ❌ Avoid for 2K |
⚠️ Warning:
Not all yellow tack rags are created equal. Avoid those intended for woodworking or furniture—they often contain wax or oils that can ruin a 2K spray job.
🧽 How to Use for 2K:
-
Use after panel wipe or degreaser, just before spraying.
-
Lightly glide—don’t press.
-
Always use in a clean, dust-free booth or prep bay.
-
Do not reuse if the cloth looks dirty or loaded.
