Needed Supplies:
Structural Polyester Bonding Putty
MEKP
Spreader or putty knife
Stir Sticks
Safety Protection including gloves, mask and eye goggles
Application:
-Work area and resin should be between 70°F and 85°F for best results.
-Make sure the work area is well ventilated and wear proper safety clothing including gloves and a face mask.
-Prep surface by sanding and then cleaning with acetone or other solvent.
-Measure out the putty in measuring cup
-Add MEKP based on how much putty was used. MEKP catalyst is needed for the putty to cure. It should be added around 1-2% based on the volume of the resin at temperatures around 77°F. Too much or too little MEKP catalyst will cause an improper cure. Cure time and pot life will vary depending on percentage of MEKP added and the temperature of the room. If 1% MEKP is added, there will be a longer pot life and it will cure slower than if 1.5% or 2% MEKP is added. Same goes for temperature. Lower temperatures result in slower pot life/cure time than if working in higher temperatures.
-Apply the putty to surface using a spreader or putty knife
-To get a hard tack free finish, follow up with PVA, a waxed gel coat or an Air Dry Coating.
-Uncured polyester resin can be removed from tools and equipment with acetone.
-Once fully cured, part can be sanded.
