Application Steps

Mixing

UGloss-AF has a mix ratio of 2 parts 2(Base) to 1 part 1(Activator). Product packaging is pre-measured and should be mixed as supplied. After the two parts are combined, mix well with paint paddle until the material is thoroughly mixed and streak free. Improper mixing may result in product failure.

Priming

Using a UCoat as a primer is required. If a primer is not used, more porous substrates will cause outgassing and possible surface defects.

Application

For application of the UGloss-AF use a 3/8″ nap roller cover should be used (included in the UGloss-AF Kit). Use a paint roller to spread UCoat in an even M&W pattern. Maintain temperatures within the recommended ranges during the application and curing process. Direct sunlight or high temperatures may cause visible roller marking during application. Too thick of an application may result in product failure. Exposure to certain types of lighting such as sodium vapor lights may cause the product to discolor. Applications with relative humidity higher than 90% and/or poor air circulation may cause improper/prolonged cure and surface tackiness.

Recoating

Multiple coats of UGloss-AF are acceptable. However, if you opt to recoat or topcoat, you must first be sure that all of the solvents have evaporated from the coating during the curing process. It is best to test the coating before recoating or top coating. This can be done by pressing on the coating with your thumb to verify that no fingerprint impression is left. If no impression is created, then application of the coating can be started. Also, it is advisable to scuff sand the previous coat to insure a trouble free bond.
