- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Cure Method
- Surface Preparation Instructions
- Scuff the surface with scotch bright pads.
- Dust off the surface with an air hose and wand.
- Wipe of the substrate with IPA or Acetone to remove grime and oils
- Remove all remaining dust and debris by lightly wiping the substrate with a tack or “cheese” cloth
- Mixing Instructions
Shake component A in a paint shaker for 5 – 10 minutes for optimal results.
Admix by volume:- Stir or shake both component “A” and “B” well before mixing
- Add 4 parts of Component “A” to 1 part of Component “B” by volume and stir thoroughly. Stir each well before mixing.
- Reduce with PT-1045. Dilution ratio is 1 part admixed primer to 2 – 3 parts PT-1045.
- Mix only an amount that can be used in one day.
- Application
This product can be applied using conventional air spray equipment, HVLP spray system. Please consult with a PTI representative for specific equipment recommendations and settings.
- Make sure pots, guns, and lines are purged and cleaned.
- Mix both base and catalyst thoroughly and filter/strain before spray application.
- HVLP Spray Pressure: 7-10psi. Convention spray equipment 15-30psi
- Always air-blow and tack wipe the surfaces to be painted. Aircraft should be grounded to prevent static.
- Best application results: apply 1 fog/tack coat at 0.2 mil thickness.
- Recommended Dry Film Thickness is 0.2 mils.
NOTE: Application of PTI products requires the use of all OSHA approved safety equipment, including proper ventilation. Additionally, PTI products require the recommended temperature/humidity conditions and film thickness ranges for optimal performance. The material, hangar, and aircraft skin temperatures should be no lower than 75⁰ F / 25⁰ C before, during and after application.
- Drying and Curing Schedule
Dry times are based on the dry film thickness of 0.2 mils (25-50 microns).
Air Dry: Allow applied coating to dry for at least 15 minutes before painting over it.
- Equipment Cleaning
Use clean PTI-1045 Reducer. Do not allow material to dry or cure inside any equipment.
- Recommended Reducers
Reducer - PTI-1045 reduce, 1 part paint to 2 – 3 parts reducer
