FAQs
Can this kit be used on vertical surfaces?
Yes, but ensure you use the appropriate resin viscosity and work in smaller sections to prevent sagging before cure.
Is the topcoat included in the kit UV resistant?
Yes, the ProGRP topcoat is formulated to be UV stable and resistant to weathering.
Do I need to purchase extra tools?
The kit is comprehensive, but you should have standard safety equipment, masking tape, and cleaning solvents on hand.
How long does the resin stay workable after mixing?
Work time (pot life) depends on ambient temperature; typically 20-30 minutes, but check the technical data on the resin containers.
What is the shelf life of the resins and hardeners?
Store in a cool, dark place and use within the expiration dates marked on the packaging, usually within 6-12 months.
Troubleshooting
Resin is setting too quickly
Reduce the amount of catalyst added and ensure the ambient temperature is within the recommended working range.
Surface remains tacky after topcoat
Check that the catalyst ratio was correct and that the environmental humidity was not too high during application.
Air bubbles appearing in the laminate
Use the Bubblebuster roller more aggressively during the lamination phase to work the air out of the fiberglass matting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure the roof substrate is dry, clean, and structurally sound. To set up, organize the application tools by size to handle varying roof sections efficiently. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and respirators, when mixing the resin with the catalyst.
Care instructions involve keeping the resin and hardener in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After use, the rollers and brushes should be disposed of as they are typically non-reusable once resin cures. Ensure all containers are tightly sealed after every session to prevent moisture contamination.
