INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

1. Prepare Surface:
   Prepare the cracked or damaged area by removing any loose edges of the Gel coat by using a razor knife, or by grinding with a router or Dremel® type tool.

2. Sand the routed area with 100 or 220 grit sandpaper to smooth any roughness around the area to be filled.

3. Clean the gap/crevice thoroughly with a white cloth saturated with acetone.
   Clean the surface around the repair thoroughly with acetone.

4. Mix 8 drops of MEKP Hardener into ½ oz. of Gel coat using a mixing cup or 2% MEKP.

5. If spraying thin by adding approximately 15% Styrene to the Gel coat mixture, stir gently. Working time is about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the temperature.
   If purchased Gel Coat with-out wax you will need to add Wax additive at 5% ratio to the Gel Coat for ONLY the final Coat for a proper cure.

6. Spray the Gel coat mixture to the surface using the sprayer or you can brush or roll it on. It is recommended to test on a separate surface, such as paper or cardboard, to check the spray consistency.
   It may be necessary to add more acetone. The Gel coat mixture may also be sprayed using an airbrush or a spot gun. It is important that the filled area is covered sufficiently and sprayed evenly with no runs. Once applied, allow it to cure 30 minutes. Accelerate with moderate heat if necessary

7. (The Gel coat may still be a little tacky. It is acceptable to wipe off the tackiness with a cloth and acetone.)
   “Wet sand” the sprayed area with 320 grit sandpaper and water. Then sand in progression with 400 grit and 600 grit sandpaper until smooth.
   Important: Do not sand through the color exposing the filler. Wipe dry.

8. Apply the rubbing compound generously to the sanded area and polish by hand or using an electric buffer at 2500 rpm.
