This hardener is specifically designed for use with Tetrosyl Polyester fillers. It is not compatible with other types of fillers like epoxy or acrylic.
The exact ratio depends on the specific Tetrosyl Polyester filler you are using. Always refer to the instructions on the filler packaging for the recommended hardener-to-filler ratio.
No, it is strongly recommended to only use this hardener with Tetrosyl Polyester fillers. Using it with other brands may lead to poor results or failure of the repair.
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap securely sealed, the hardener should remain effective for a significant period. However, check for any expiration dates on the packaging and signs of drying out.
Store the hardener tubes in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent air exposure and contamination.
The red color serves as a visual indicator during mixing. It helps ensure that the hardener has been thoroughly mixed into the filler, achieving a uniform color and consistent cure.
Ensure the correct ratio of hardener to filler was used. Too little hardener is the most common cause. Also, verify the hardener has not expired or been contaminated.
Too much hardener was likely added. Use less hardener in future mixes. Ensure the ambient temperature is not excessively high, as this can also speed up curing.
This can indicate insufficient hardener or improper mixing. Ensure thorough mixing until uniform color is achieved and the correct ratio of hardener is used.
This usually means the tube was not sealed properly after its last use, or it has been stored for an extended period. Discard and use a new tube.
Compatibility:
This hardener is specifically formulated for use with Tetrosyl Polyester fillers only. Using it with other filler types or brands may result in improper curing, poor adhesion, or failure of the repair.
