Encap performed smoothly and evenly using the Cimex/RELEASIT system will normally provide you with consistently great results on CGD carpet. The emphasis is on smooth and consistent coverage! And avoid over wetting too! If you're still having trouble, something is being done wrong. Smooth and even coverage with the Cimex will work wonders 99% of the time. Since you keep running into trouble it would seem like you're having some trouble getting the system dialed in. Again; smooth and even is the key - and avoid over wetting the carpet. Once you've mastered that, you should see some really nice results. It really is a simple system.

When you do your first pass laying down solution, do you then go back over that area in the opposite direction doing a dry run??
Those photos to me, indicate that you are simply doing a wet pass, turning around and coming back up next to the first pass, with no dry pass over the already first pass.
I lay down my solution, then come back over that pass doing a dry pass, then I go down next to it, again laying solution (wet pass) when I get to the end, I turn around and go back over that area again, doing a dry pass with no solution.
This way, all photos should indicate a uniform lay of the carpet pile.
Here's a job where I'm half way through at our local race course on Friday.
Notice all the light colored carpet lays the same way.
Thank you for your feedback. Please check the video out, it seems it did not upload properly so I am posting another link for the video only below.
Encapman: I use cimex and Releaseit, I cannot know how to do it smoothly without feedback from the video, please check.
Longe Lizard: Good job on that one! Please also check the video and tell me what we are doing wrong. Does it matter if I go forward and then dry pass stepping backwards without turning direction on the machine? Some areas are small so it is easier to go back for the dry pass rather than turn the machine around. Also, does it matter if I do like 3 rows wet then 3 rows dry pass or is it supposed to be one row at a time back and forth to work best? I feel I'm overthinking this but I can't get the results I want and it's driving me nuts.
By the way, if you happen to go back to the place another day, I would appreciate you take a picture, I would love to see how it looks like the day after. (Wet anything looks great)

I hope I make sense.
Thanks.
