"Wet-in-wet" Use
Ventilation time before applying top coat at +20 ºC (68 ºF) room temperature:
- 15 to 20 minutes up to a maximum of 90 minutes for two-part HS top coat
- 25 to 30 minutes up to a maximum of 90 minutes for water-based base
paint
- 30 to 35 minutes up to a maximum of 90 minutes for Aqua premium
water-based base paint
Reworking as "wet-in-wet" Filler
Can be painted over with:
- Water-based base paint and two-part HS clear coat
- Two-Part HS Top Coat
Special Instructions
Elastification for rigid and semi-rigid plastics:
- The base material must first be mixed with 15 % Elastic Additive -ALZ
011 001-. 3:1 mixing ratio for VHS hardener and 20% thinner, 2:1 mixing
ratio for HS hardener with 20 % thinner.
- Any faults in the base surface can be filled with two-part polyester
filling paste. After drying and intermediate sanding, insulate the filler
patches with two-part HS vario filler.
- In order to achieve the best surface finish for vehicle painting, we
recommend the filler be sanded after it dries over night.
- Do not use the wet-in-wet process on thermoplastic factory paint, and if
possible let the filler air-dry overnight before sanding it.
- When air drying, a minimum of +15 ºC (59 ºF) is recommended.
Caution
Allow for a ventilation time of 30 to 40 minutes before applying the base
paint/two-part top coat series.
Personal Protective Equipment:
- Note the safety data sheets
- Wear the personal protective equipment during application
