Product Preparation & Application
Material Preparation:
Catalyze Gem Clear Conversion Varnish with pre-packaged catalyst kit in a stainless steel or plastic lined container. Mix or agitate thoroughly before use. Reduction may be required for certain types of application. Xylene or Toluene may be used for reduction. If used in an area where HAPS is an issue use SOL-9011 HAPS free thinner. If a slower dry time is desired, use only SOL-9012 Haps Free Retarder..
Application:
Gem Clear Conversion Varnish is designed for spray application. Temperature will affect viscosity. All products are designed to achieve the highest possible solids content at a viscosity low enough to allow proper spray atomization without the addition of costly chemical solvents. It is recommended that this product be applied 3-4 wet mils per coat with a maximum of three coats for the total coating system. It may be applied as a self-sealing system or a high quality conversion sealer, such as 210-0008, may be used as the first coat. Maximum dry film thickness should not exceed four mils.
Clean-up:
Use #500 Gem Coat Lacquer Thinner or SOL-9011 HAPs Free Lacquer Thinner to clean all equipment. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulation regarding pollution.
