Specifications

MIXING RATIO

After shaking/stirring primer, thoroughly mix one part primer with one part catalyst. No induction time is required with this epoxy system.


SPRAY GUN SETUP

HVLP Gun: Fluid Tip 1.4-1.8 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 25-30 psi
Conventional Gravity: Fluid Tip 1.4-1.6 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 45-55 psi
Conventional Siphon: Fluid Tip: 1.6-1.8 mm Inlet Spray Pressure 45-55 psi


APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Eastwood Epoxy Primer should be applied in medium wet coats, with a 30-minute flash period between each (at 70 °F). Typically, one to two coats is enough to achieve the desired 1 mil. dry film thickness, though more material may be applied as needed. Additional build requires longer flash periods between coats. Epoxy primer may be topcoated after approximately 30 minutes (wait 45-60 minutes after applying more than two coats), or up to about five days. After five days, primer MUST be scuff sanded prior to topcoat application. May be sanded (wet) the day after application. Wait two to three days before sanding dry.

I want to use this as a epoxy. Do you sell a reducer also if reduced will it be epoxy or does it becomes a primer.

Some reps say to let epoxy dry 2 days prior to paint..other info indicates ok to reduce primer, let flash and color coat...pros/cons of each approach

Asked by: Chas
How long does epoxy need to cure before paint? This is usually around 7 – 30 days depending on the temperature during cure. Epoxy based products may appear to be cured ie they are dry on the surface, but they may not have reacted fully throughout the paint film. Reduce primer, let flash and color coat It may take multiple coats of this mix to cover completely.

Can this be used as a sealer? If so what is mixing ratio and reducer to use?

Asked by: Eric
At the 1:1 mix, this sprays & works as a sealer keeping the metal from rusting. Once paint ready, add a high quality urethane reducer as shown on product sheet. If reduces mil thickness and lays flatter while promoting adhesion as mixed 1:1 cut 10%-20% urethane reducer of correct temp, flash then spray color and clear unless single stage.

Why is this glossy after a week . Is the paint old ?

Asked by: Wade
Temperature dropping below 65 degrees during cure time can effect gloss level. If it did not cure totally, Product may have expired.

Is this supposed to dry to a glossy finish ? What do I do before I apply my base coat ? 

Asked by: Wade
Once fully cured this will not yield a glossy finish. It depends on how long you wait to apply this. You can top as soon as 30-35 minutes after applying the Epoxy up until it fully cures (typically takes about 5 days on average). Once fully cured it would have to be sanded prior to top coating with anything.
