Application Instructions
Preparation
All damages, regardless of size or depth, must be thoroughly cleaned and any loose particles removed prior to the application of the base filler. The damage and surrounding area must be free of moisture, which can be assured with a small amount of acetone applied to the area.
Repair
STEP 1
Stir the contents of the bottle marked "FILLER" until an even consistency is achieved.
Fill the area with thin even coats building to desired height and filling the area completely. Allow "FILLER" to dry completely between coats for at least one hour.
Sand After 24 hours sand the final, completely dried coat smooth to just below the level of the repair with the supplied 220 sandpaper leaving room for the "GEL-COAT" application.
Apply "GEL-COAT" no sooner than 24 hours and no later than 14 days after final "FILLER" coat.
STEP 2
Shake the contents of Jar A & Jar B thoroughly.
Pour even amounts into the mixing cup and stir until fully combined and is a solid color. Allow to stand for 30 minutes, and then stir again.
Apply over the repaired area using the applicator brush thin coats, to avoid puddling or running. Let each coat sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. A cool hair dryer can be used to speed up the dry time. Each coat can remain tacky when applying the next coat.
Dry Allow at least 24-28 hours drying time, depending on the humidity levels.
Sand After completely dry, if necessary, use the 400-finishing paper, followed by the 600-finishing paper to remove any brush marks or dust. Avoid over-sanding, so you do not scratch the surrounding surface.
NOTE
FOR SCRATCHES OR HAIRLINE CRACKS, "FILLER" MAY NOT BE NECESSARY. PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 2 IF THIS IS THE CASE.
