GEL-COAT REPAIR INSTRUCTION
MIXING RATIO:
Our products include an accelerator, you just have to add the catalyst (colourless liquid).
The usual ratio is 2%.
The gel setting-time is about half an hour, curing takes approximately ten hours.
Successful repairs require two critical factors:
a dry weather, a temperature between 15° et 25°C.
APPLICATION:
- To seal off scratches or blister holes, clean the surface with acetone and sand
the area.
- Prepare the required amount of gel-coat preferably on a glass plate.
- Apply the product with a spatula or pointed tool.
- Apply an over-sized coat to allow for sanding with abrasive and water and poli-
shing to achieve the required gloss.
- Blending minor touch up on smooth surfaces is obtained by sticking scotch tape
(or better still, Mylar tape) on the freshly applied gel-coat, then separate it after
curing (sand with extra-fine abrasive and polish to obtain a high gloss finish).
The catalyst is a dangerous product and should not be left within children reach.
In case of contact, wash with soapy water and rinse liberally.
GEL-COAT STORAGE
Get-coat components must be stored in a cool place, protected from moisture and light
for maximum 6 months, to ensure adequate preservation. The usual precautions for flam-
mable products should be adhered to for polyester products.
TOOLS CLEANING:
Clean all tools with acetone.
