INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

1. •Prepare chip, gouge or crack with a grinding tool, putty knife, razor knife or sharp tool.
   •Create a “V” shape going through the depth of the surface (color) — stopping at the fiberglass structure 1/16-in to 3/16-in deep.

2. Remove loose particles and clean area with acetone or nail polish remover.

3. Dispense a desired amount of poly-filler into the mixing cup. Add 3% to 5% cream hardener to the poly-filler and mix thoroughly using the provided stir stick. Then apply mixture to the repair area. Be sure to overfill the crack or chip slightly. The mixed material must be used within 5 minutes.

4. Allow to cure for 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat this filling and curing process using thin layers in each application. Best results are when 3 or 4 thin layers are completed.
   The final fill will finish slightly above the surface. The heat will shorten curing time but using too much material in a single application frequently causes air bubbles.

5. POST-APPLICATION: After final filling and curing, grind the area with the 3-inch grinding wheel installed in the drill. Frequently, grinding is not necessary for the poly-filler. Sanding with 100-grit sandpaper is sufficient. If grinding, use a slow speed to avoid overheating. Continue until the surface is flat and even with the surrounding surface. This technique is also good for contours and radius edges.

6. Dry sand with 100-grit sandpaper. If pinholes or other imperfections exist, a thin layer (skim coat) of the same filler can be wiped over the area. This thin layer will cure rapidly. DO NOT use any other type of filler or spot putty. Apply heat to finish the curing. Begin sanding with a progression from 220 grit to 320 grit to 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Now the surface is ready to start the color renewal process.
