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 Gelcoat.

Step 2: 

Gelcoat must be stirred/agitated, preferably with use of a mechanical agitator. Be careful not to whip air into the 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, Gelcoat should be sprayed onto the application substrate or mold at about 25 mils (measured using depth gauge) in order to achieve a final optimum cured Gelcoat thickness of 18 to 22 mils per layer, and 40-60 mils total.

Step 5: 

A second coat can be applied prior to completing the cure of the initial coat.

Step 6: 

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

Step 7: 

Refer to additive chart for quantities of SandingAid for use in final coat/post mold/out of mold applications.

Clean Up Procedure:
