APPLICATION AND USE

 

Preparation

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:
In Good Condition: Wash down with Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Abrade with 280-320 grade (grit) paper.
In Poor Condition: Remove all previous coatings and prime the substrate.
PRIMING: Substrate preparation is covered separately on the primer datasheet.
BARE WOOD: Prime with Yacht Primer or UCP.
STEEL: Prime with Yacht Primer or Interprotect.
ALUMINIUM: Prime with Etch Primer followed by either Yacht Primer or Interprotect.
GRP: Wash down with Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Abrade with 180-220 grade paper.
AGED/WEATHERED GELCOATS: Due to the potentially porous nature of aged/weathered gelcoats the risk of solvent/moisture entrapment after painting is much higher than when gelcoat is new. As a result this entrapment could lead to blistering of the paint film. To reduce the risk of paint film blistering it is recommended that 3 coats of Interprotect are applied to seal the gelcoat. Interprotect must be overcoated with Polyurethane Basecoat prior to topcoat application.
ALL SUBSTRATES: Use Pre-Kote undercoat. If spray applying Toplac, Pre-Kote must be aged a minimum of 14 days. If this is not possible Polyurethane Basecoat can also be used as an undercoat.

Method

Sand the undercoat smooth with 320-400 grade (grit) wet or dry paper. Remove dust with a dust wipe. Apply 1-2 coats.

Hints

Mixing Stir well before use.
Thinner Thinner No.1 Thinner No.10 - For Professional use ONLY.
Thinning In warm or windy conditions up to 10% of thinner may be added to ease application.
Cleaner Thinner No.1
Ventilation and Humidity Control Apply in dry, well ventilated conditions. Avoid applying late in the evening as condensation can cause a loss of gloss overnight.
Conventional Spray Thin 10-25% with Thinner No.10 (For Professional use ONLY) to a viscosity of 18-22 secs (BS4) or 16-20 secs (DIN4). Pressure: 3-4 bar. Tip Size: 1.1-1.4 mm. NOTE: Pre-Kote undercoat MUST be aged a minimum of 14 days before application of Toplac.
Other For lighter colours, mix the first coat of finish 50:50 with the undercoat to improve the depth of colour and opacity. For best results when applying by roller, smooth off with a pad or brush.

Some Important Points

Toplac may discolour if used at temperatures above 80°C. Not suitable for permanently immersed surfaces. Do not use below 5°C. Ambient temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Product temperature should be minimum 15°C and maximum 35°C. Substrate temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Avoid applying late in the evening as condensation can cause a loss of gloss during overnight cure.

Compatibility/Substrates

Use over suitably prepared and undercoated surfaces or existing paint schemes.
