- Applications
- Application
- Agitate slowly but thoroughly and bring temperature into 70-80° degree range.
- Catalyze at 2.0% with United Initiators 925H or Akzo Nobel L50a, no equivalent. No reduction or other additions are necessary.
- For best results apply with conventional air assisted airless equipment. 1840 –
- .1850 tip size.
- Fluid pressure approximately 35 – 45 lbs.
- For air assisted airless equipment, utilize approximately 25 – 35 lbs. of air assist.

Safety & Health
- Precautions
- DO NOT apply excess or uneven film thicknesses as pre-release and or porosity may result.
- Catalyzed masses will get extremely hot, volatilize and crack. Avoid catalyzed mass accumulations/waste as contact with skin or combustibles/flammables can result in injury or fire.
- While these products do achieve a casting 934 Barcol hardness of 35 – 40, do not expect to read those figures if checking Barcol hardness of the tool itself. Barcol Impressors require 31 cured mils minimum to register the hardness of film. That thickness is not achieved from 30 or 40 wet mils with conditions of evaporation and shrinkage. A Barcol point/impressor may penetrate the Tool’s gel coat and read higher if encountering glass or lower if resin.
- Plugs, pumps, spray guns, and product containers should be properly grounded before use.
- A good high quality high temperature paste wax or a liquid semi-permanent product is highly recommended.
