Application

As with all coatings, mix 5776W90065 well before applying. It is formulated for airless spraying as supplied. Thinning is not recommended. To catalyze, use a brand of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) specifically designed for gel coats. Do not catalyze at levels below 1.0% or above 2.5% as this may result in curing problems or other physical defects.

For optimum performance apply in 5-7 mil passes to a recommended dry film thickness of 18 mils minimum. Exceeding 30 mils dry will lead to premature yellowing. Make sure the air pressure is properly adjusted, and the spray gun and lines are free of solvent, water and oil.

• 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.
