Sikkens Autoclear Performance LV Clearcoat, Fast, 1 US Gallon, 556172

SKU:556172

The fast version of Sikkens' low-VOC clear, at 2.1 lb/gal or less ready to spray. It bakes in 15 minutes at 140°F, flex is built in, and it shares one hardener with the Slow version so you can blend the two for conditions and repair size.

Why it works

Low VOC, fast cycle

  • VOC compliant. 2.1 lb/gal (250 g/L) or less, ready to spray, in every mixture.
  • Quick bake. Dust-free in 10 minutes and dry in 15 at 140°F.
  • Built-in flex. No flex additive on most flexible parts.
  • One hardener. LV Hardener 556173 works with Fast, Slow or any blend.
Plan your hardener. At 2:1, every gallon of clear needs half a gallon of hardener. LV Hardener comes in quarts, so that's 2 quarts per gallon of clear.
How to use

Mix and spray

  1. Mix 2 parts Performance LV Fast (or a Fast/Slow blend) with 1 part LV Hardener 556173, by volume. The TDS lists no reducer.
  2. For a faster cure, add up to 15 ml of LV250 Accelerator 389353 per ready-to-spray quart. That cuts pot life to 40 minutes.
  3. Use an HVLP or compliant gravity gun with a 1.3–1.4 mm tip.
  4. Apply a medium closed coat, flash 5–10 minutes, then a full flowing coat.
  5. Flash 0–10 minutes, then bake 15 minutes at 140°F, or air dry 2 hours at 70°F.
