What should I do if I accidentally mix too much product?
Use the mixed product within its pot life, as specified by the manufacturer. Unused mixed product cannot be stored and should be disposed of according to local regulations.
Does this coating require a specific primer?
The product is compatible with WEP Primers, which are recommended for maximum adhesion and durability. Always refer to the technical data sheet for detailed primer recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Coating not drying properly
Ensure the correct mix ratio of topcoat and hardener was used. Verify ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended application ranges. Check if the product is past its shelf life.
Poor adhesion to the substrate
Confirm the surface was properly prepared (cleaned, degreased, and abraded if necessary). Ensure a compatible primer (e.g., WEP Primer) was used and applied correctly.
Uneven finish or spray pattern
Adjust spray gun settings (fluid tip, air cap, pressure) according to the product's application guidelines. Ensure consistent gun speed and distance from the surface. Check for blockages in the spray equipment.
Surface feels tacky after intended cure time
This could indicate improper mixing, incorrect environmental conditions (too cold, too humid), or insufficient hardener. Allow additional time in a suitable environment, or consider if the product was applied too thickly.
