Instructions: Brushable Gelcoat

Materials Needed:

1. Mix & Measure Buckets
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
3. Measuring Cups
4. MEKP
5. Mixing Sticks/Power Mixer
6. Paint Brush/Roller
7. Depth (Mil) Gauge

Step 1: 

The application site should be wiped clean of contaminants such as dust and debris. If coating a mold, the mold must be waxed, buffed, and prepped prior to catalyzing the Brushable Gelcoat.

Step 2: 

Brushable Gelcoat must be stirred/agitated, preferably with use of a mechanical agitator. Be careful not to whip air into the Brushable Gelcoat.

Step 3:

We recommend a catalyst loading of 1.5 to 2.% MEKP with a working surface and Gelcoat temperature of about 77° F. Please refer to the Catalyst Concentration Chart for quantities. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4: 

For best results, Brushable Gelcoat should be applied with smooth brush strokes yielding a wet film thickness of 12-14 mils in out of mold applications (measured using a depth gauge). A minimum of 20 mils are required in a mold.

Step 5: 

In general, a second coat can be applied prior to complete cure of the initial coat, unless the Gelcoat contains wax.

Step 6: 

Gelcoat should be cured before sanding and buffing. Allowing it to cure overnight is preferred.

Please Note: Patch Aid/Patch Booster NOT recommended for use with this product.
