For you Body working guys.

Do you guys use TACK CLOTH to wipe down a body part right before your spray it?

That's what i've been using. I just realized that the tack cloth leaves a sicky residue on my hands after use. Hope the sticky residue doesn't stay on the body part and screw up my prime job.

I'm no body guy, but I used a Tack cloth/rag when I painted my engine bay 4 years ago and I had no problems.
There was never an indication of any problems from using a tack cloth when I painted the engine bay, after I had tacked things down in preparation for painting.
Just my $.02
