Product Preparation & Application
Material Preparation:
Catalyze Gem Var Conversion Varnish with pre-packaged catalyst kit in a stainless steel or plastic lined container. Mix or agitate thoroughly and allow a 20 minute induction period prior to application. Reduction may be required for certain types of application. SOL-9011 HAPs Free Thinner should be used for reduction. If a slower dry time is desired, use only SOL-9012 Haps Free Retarder. Tint using 844 colorants, at levels not to exceed 4%, by volume.
Application:
Gem Var 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.
