Application
5785
Series Gel Coats are formulated for spray application as supplied.
Thinning is not recommended. To catalyze, use a brand of Methyl
Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP), specifically designed for gel coats,
at 2% for gel times shown above. Do not catalyze at levels below
1% or above 3%.
For
optimum performance apply in several thin overlapping coats rather
than a single thick coat as this will help avoid sagging, porosity,
solvent entrapment, and other defects. Apply to a thickness of 18
- 25 mils wet. Make sure the air pressure is properly adjusted,
and the spray gun and lines are free of solvent, water, and oil.
Brush application is not recommended.
•
Store containers indoors or under cover.
• Normal storage area temperature should be 65º F.
- 80º F.
• Use only original containers full and sealed.
• Keep containers away from heating pipes or radiators.
• Use a "first-in-first-out" system of stock rotation
to ensure use within 90 day period.
