- Mixing Instructions
Shake component A in a paint shaker for 5 – 10 minutes for optimal results.
Reduce: Use distilled water to thin this product.
- If Spraying: Thin 10 parts paint with 1 part water.
- If Brushing: DO NOT THIN.
- Application
This product can be applied by brushing, rolling, conventional air spray equipment or a 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 paint and water thoroughly and filter/strain before spray application. NOTE: It is not recommended to strain flat/matte coatings.
- HVLP Spray Pressure: 7-10psi. Conventional spray pressure 15-30psi
- Always air-blow and tack wipe the surfaces to be painted. Aircraft should be grounded to prevent static.
- Best application results: apply 2 coats: 1 fog/tack coat & 1 full coats from 0.6 – 1 mil thickness.
- Do not allow more than 12 hours to pass before applying the second coat.
- Recommended Dry Film Thickness is 1-2 mils. Some colors may require thicker films to achieve hiding.
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 75°F / 25°C before, during and after application.
- Drying and Curing Schedule
Dry times are based on the dry film thickness between 1-2 mils (25-50 microns).
Air Dry Times (75°F / 25°C and 50% Relative Humidity)
Dries hard in 40 minutes; full cure in 24 hours.
- Equipment Cleaning
Use clean water. Do not allow material to dry or cure inside any equipment.
- Recommended Primer and Reducer
Recommended Primer(s) - PTI-WREP
Reducer - Distilled Water
