10 -15% 465, 475 or 485 Urethane Thinner
- Application
- Recommended Film Thickness per coat - 2.0 -3.5 mils dry
- Method - Conventional, HVLP or Airless Spray
- Thinner - Urethane Thinner
- Flash/Dry Times (Air Dry)
Flash between coats 10 minutes Dust free 20 minutes To handle 2-4 hours To recoat 4-6 hours, overnight preferred
Time to assemble Overnight Time to deliver Overnight - Polishing
- Optimum Times : Air Dry: Overnight at75°F.
- Sanding : Use 1500 grit or finer or use 1500 DA or finer
- Compounding : Use finishing compound. Apply a thin ribbon of material to the area to be polished. Use a double sided wool pad or a foam pad. Maintain air polisher or variable speed polisher at 1800- 3000 rpm. Remove excess finishing compound with a clean soft cloth prior to applying finishing polishing
- Application Instruction
- Gun Setups:
Conventional Siphon Feed: 1.3 mm – 1.6 mm (0.050” – 0.063”) Gravity Feed: 1.3 mm – 1.6 mm (0.050” – 0.063”)
HVLP Siphon Feed: 1.3 mm – 1.6 mm (0.050” – 0.063”) Gravity Feed: 1.3 mm – 1.6 mm (0.050” – 0.063”)
- Air Pressures:
Conventional Siphon Feed: 45-55 psi at the gun
Gravity Feed: 45-55 psi at the gun
HVLP 8-10 psi at the gun
- Limitations
Apply in good weather when air and surface temperature are above 50°F and surface temperature is at least 5°F above the dew point. Humidity must be below 90%. Conditions should be within these limits for the full curing time of the coating. Conditions of high humidity and/or low temperatures, especially with moisture condensing on the uncured paint film, will adversely affect the curing and gloss of the coating. For optimum application properties, material should be between 70°F to 90°F prior to mixing and application. Maintain unmixed material in closed containers in protected storage at 40°F-100°F.
