- Surface Preparation
- Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick scraping sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by volume 1 parts Base to 1 part Activator. Or by weight 1 parts Base to 1 part Activator (100: 100). Mix thoroughly to produce and even colored, streak-free material.
- Mixing
- Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick scraping sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by volume 1 parts Base to 1 part Activator. Or by weight 1 parts Base to 1 part Activator (100: 100). Mix thoroughly to produce and even coloured, streak-free material.
- Application
- Use heavy plastic squeegee or putty knife. Work material into profile of substrate to achieve maximum adhesive and to remove any entrapped air. Contour to correct form with putty knife or plastic applicator. If mold or form is used be sure to coat its surface with a release agent to prevent adhesion of the material. Machining is possible using diamond tipped tools only. Grinding is possible only if done within 2 hours of application at 77°F (add 1 hour for each 10°F below 77°F, subtract 1 /2 hour for each 10°F above 77°F).
- Application Temperature
- keep between 55 and 95°F (17-35°C). Substrate: keep between 45-105°F (7-40°C). The difference in temperature of the substrate and the material should never exceed 10°F, 5°C. Substrate shall be a minimum of 5°F (3°C) above dew point. Do not apply if relative humidity exceeds 90%. If necessary heat the metal prior to surface preparation using electric heater or heat lamp. Never use gas, oil or kerosene heaters as they will leave a greasy residue on metal surface. For best results keep all material in warm area overnight (75°F+) for ease of mixing. If necessary Base component of material can be heated by microwave for 30 seconds for a 1 KG Base unit or by warm water bath. Heat Activator by warm water bath only. If necessary let material cool before application.
- Overcoat / Cure Time
- Re-coat as soon as possible while material is still soft, within 2-4 hours at 77°F. 25°C. Max overcoat is 12 hours at 77F(25C). If overcoat window is exceeded abrade surface with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast. Full cure before immersion 36 hours at 77° F. Force Cure with heat for best performance for 1 hour at 200° F, 93°C, 12 hours at 120°F, 49°C.
- Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use with Acetone or MethylEthylKetone (M.E.K.). Use 98%+ Isopropyl Alcohol in solvent controlled environments.
