Aftco is a little thinner than Flexcoat HB...easy to apply...levels very well...but takes a looooong time to get completely tack-free...up to a couple of weeks.

I agree with Doug, it's thinner that Flexcoat HB but thicker than the Lite. I have completely switched over to it from the Flex Coat but I have not encountered the tack-free problem yet???? It also has not yellowed out on me like the flex coat has in the past.

I thought the new formula was going to address the tacky problem, and finish hardness.

The tacky problem may have been corrected. I'm trying to use up my opened bottles before I open the "new" formula.
