• High Build, Fast Sanding Primer perfectly smooth surfaces
• A Substitute for sanding gelcoat – epoxy laminates or pinhole-free surfaces.
• Highly crosslinked coating providing excellent chemical resistance

Features:

• Low Porosity- provides a super fine leveling and filling system. Applied properly, Surface Primer provides a porosity-free surface without pinholes or defects.
• Adhesion to most epoxies- with heat distortion level of 200° F/93°C the primer also adheres to fiberglass, wood, MDF, brick, concrete and polyurethane foam.
• Rapid Buildup- up to 40 mils 1000 microns, wet on wet, on composite plugs and master mold surfaces. Save time and labor.
• Easy Sanding-also saves time and labor. The primer cures to a surface that polishes to a gloss.

Use Instructions:

• Mix thoroughly with a drill-mounted mixer or paint shaker. Hand stirring is not enough.
• Duratec Surface Primer is designed to be applied when the ambient temperature and part temperature are both above 60°F.
• Catalyze with 1.75-2.25% MEKP Catalyst. Norox 925 works well. Mix well.
• Surface Primer can be applied by roller, brush or by spray. Spray with an HVLP Spray Gun, or with a gelcoat application system. Seek a fine spray, and use the lowest pressure that allows an even spray fan. (approximately 40 psi). A 2.0 mm tip is recommended.
• Apply at least 10 mils for even and complete cure. . Recoat before the Primer has set up and lost its tack. If the Primer cures completely wait at least eight hours, sand, and recoat.
• Additional solvent is not needed for most spray guns. If solvent is required, do not add Acetone or Styrene.
• Duratec Thinner is the best choice. Methyl Ethyl Ketone Solvent will work for most users. High quality urethane reducers are good choices. Lacquer Thinners are not recommended.
• Sand when the primer has cured. Start with the finest paper that will remove the surface profile. If sprayed well, 220 or 320 grit paper is a good starting point. Wait at least eight hours from the start of sanding before polishing or topcoating.
• Aqua Buff 1000-F and Aqua Buff 2000 are good choices for compounding and polishing Surface Primer.
• Duratec Pot Life Extender will extend the pot life by 2-3 times, and does not extend the cure time (spray only).
