Frequently Asked Questions

AnswerFilter
How can dry times be decreased or increased?Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
They can be decreased with the application of heat or with a chemical accelerator.
Low temperatures will increase drying times. Low humidity will also increase the drying times of polyurethane paints.
How strictly do mix ratios need to be followed?Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).

Mixing ratios should be observed strictly. A 1-2% variance is normally acceptable.

Is it really necessary to wait 30 minutes after mixing the epoxy primer before applying it?Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Yes, the epoxy chemistry requires this induction period to allow the primer full chemical reaction.
What effects does humidity have on a paint application?Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Humidity reacts with the polyurethane paints to aid in the drying and curing.
High humidity can cause blistering or hazing in some paints.
What is the difference between a conventional paint and a high solid paint?Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window).
Conventional paints have about 60-65% of solvent content. After application, these solvents evaporate.
High solid paints have only about 25-35% of solvent making them more environmentally friendly and more efficient.
