The use of Polyurethane Accelerator will affect the maximum 8ml per 1.0 litre kit self recoat time of the product. 10ml per 1.25 litre kit Additions of Polyurethane Accelerator in excess of 10ml per litre may result in drastically reduced Pot Life, and be 40ml per 5 litre kit detrimental to finish gloss level and overall coating ...in any of the following products: performance. E~Line®379 Carbothane® 130 Clear Coat Further: Multi-Gard® GP 48AU (Australia only) Due to the 1:1 mix ratio of Elite® Pro~Spray, the recommended rate is: 40ml per 8 litre kit
DO NOT add Polyurethane Accelerator until after mixing the
finish coat base and converter. Carry out any thinning required prior to adding the Polyurethane Accelerator. The addition of Polyurethane Accelerator reduces the pot life of the finish coat treated. Temperatures above 26°C will drastically reduce the pot life of the coating. Best results are achieved at temperatures in the range of 10-20°C. Treatment is not normally required in temperatures above 25°C. However, should there be a need to accelerate, then do so with extreme caution.
