Charge the ingredients of the mill grind to a steel ball mill and grind for 48 hours. Discharge mill and let down this mixture with the let down solution. The materials in the base component are simply combined, mixed and packaged. Combine equal volumes of the curing agent component and the base component, and mix thoroughly. Allow the mixed formulation to sweat in for one hour. The system is then ready for spray application. For application of this system in confined or poorly ventilated areas, we recommend the use of a fresh air-supplied hood and other protective clothing sufficient to cover the applicators entire body. Table 2/ Curing Schedules Ambient Cure: 70-80 F* Dry to handle Development of physical properties Development of solvent resistance
