Suitable for application by brush / roller to give an even film, free from air and drainage with excellent opacity. Shows excellent weathering properties.
Application :
Formulated to cure at temperatures > 16°C and needs only the addition of catalyst prior to use. Medium activity methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) is the recommended catalyst at an addition level of 2% by weight to ensure sufficient cure at room temperature.

Where double gelcoating cannot be avoided the first layer must be applied to a minimum thickness of 375pm (microns)/0.375mm or 460g per square metre.
