Know what's in the can. The "gallon" can holds 102 fl oz (0.8 US gal) of gold filler, plus a 1 oz tube of blue cream hardener. Mix about 2% hardener by weight: a 3 in circle of filler, 1/2 in thick, takes a 3 in strip of cream.
Application
- Prep with P40–P80. On galvanized, e-coat or aluminum, sand with P80 to remove the paint or primer.
- Mix 2% cream hardener by weight (1.5% to 2.75%) until the color is uniform.
- Apply within the 3–5 minute work time, no more than 1/4 in thick. Work above 45°F.
- Shape-sand at 8–12 minutes and finish-sand at 20 minutes, working P40, P80, then P180.
- Wait about 45 minutes before priming.
