APPLICATION AND USE:
Preparation GRP: All surfaces should be sanded thoroughly and wiped down with International Epoxy Thinners #7. Remove all traces of release agents from bare new hulls since this could impair adhesion.
WOOD: Sand along the grain with 220-280 grade paper for a good cosmetic finish. Sand across the grain with 40-60 grade paper for good adhesion when gluing. Wipe down with International Epoxy Thinners #7.
METAL: Grind the surface to remove oxidation and provide a key. Wipe down with International Epoxy Thinners #7. For Aluminium/Bronze/Lead, better adhesion will be achieved by sanding the resin mix into the surface using wet or dry paper.

Method:

Apply to a surface pre-primed with a thin layer of resin mix. Techniques will vary depending on the job in hand. For Coating and Sheathing, apply a first primer coat and then subsequent coats with a brush or roller. A glue brush can be used for Gluing or a spatula which can also be used for Fillet Bonding. Use a spreader for Filling and Fairing applications. Pour paint into paint tray to extend working time.

Hints:

Mixing- Always measure accurately by volume to the 3:1 ratio. Add curing agent to the base and mix well. Carefully blend in any additive powders chosen until the desired consistency is achieved. Mix only as much as you can use in 20 minutes.
Thinner YTA061 International Epoxy Thinners #7.
Thinning Only use thinner when sheathing. Maximum 5%.
Cleaner YTA061 International Epoxy Thinners #7.
Other Use glue powder in all filler, fairing and filleting mixes to prevent sagging.

Some Important Points:

An amine blush may form on the surface of the Epiglass HT9000 as it cures, particularly in cold, damp conditions. The cured Epiglass HT9000 should therefore be fresh water washed with a 3M Scotchbrite pad to remove any amine blush before proceeding with the application of varnish, undercoat, etc. Do not apply over conventional (one-pack) coatings. Product temperature should be minimum 10°C and maximum 30°C. Ambient temperature should be minimum 15°C and maximum 35°C. Substrate temperature should be minimum 15°C and maximum 35°C.

Compatibility/Substrates: Epiglass HT9000 will adhere to most substrates which have been thoroughly prepared, with the exception of thermoplastics such as PVC and polypropylene. Do not use on GRP which is not fully cured.
