REFACE

SPRAYABLE POLYESTER FILLER/PUTTY

  • Minimises shrinkage because it is catalized
  • Can be applied to bare metal, polyester filler, fibreglass and over sound paint systems
  • High build - high solids
  • Fills over 70 um per coat
  • Easy sanding within one hour
  • Can be wet or dry sanded
  • Compatible with most paint systems

DESCRIPTION: Reface is a highly effective two component spray filler for the preparation of irregular steel and glass fibre surfaces. Reface gives a very high build, adheres excellently to metal, is easy to sand and is the ideal base for most paint systems.

SURFACE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Reface can be applied to the following surfaces:-

  • Bare metal (etch primers are not recommended underneath Reface)
  • Polyester fillers
  • Old sound paint surfaces (with the exception of thermoplastic acrylics)

Thoroughly clean and degrease surfaces with a suitable spirit or wipe or thinner. Abrade with 80 grit paper for bare metal or 240 grade for painted surfaces. Re-clean and dry.

HARDENER: Mix Reface and hardener thoroughly. Add hardener at 5 parts per 100 by volume or 3% by weight. Only mix amount required for immediate work. Never return unused mixed product to the can.

APPLICATION: Stir well before use. Minimum recommended working temperature is 15°C. Apply with a gravity fed gun is preferable, though a suction gun will suffice. Use a 2mm - 3mm fluid tip. Hold gun 15-20 cms from panel. Layers may be built up wet on wet, but 5 - 10 minutes between coats is recommended.

POT LIFE: 20 - 30 minutes at 20°C

BUILD AND PRESSURE: 2-3 spray cycles of several layers will give a very high build. Each pass will give a build of approximately 75-100 microns. A pressure of 3-3.5 BAR is required at the gun.

DRYING TIME: 2-3 hours at 20°C or 30 minutes at 60°C. Drying time is dependant upon film thickness, humidity and temperature.

OVER-PAINTING: Wet or dry flat. Clean and dry thoroughly, Reface may then be over-coated with most primers and paint systems. A non sanding sealer is necessary if used in damp climatic conditions.
