Pre-treatment of base surfaces:

Carefully clean using Silicone Remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or Silicone Remover, Long -LVM 020 100 A5-.

Dry-sand with rotary sander and dust extraction (P 400 to 500 grit).

Or wet-sand with P 800 grit sandpaper

Use a suitable cleaning agent before reworking to ensure a clean and residue-free surface.

Processing

Mixing ratio

Mixing ratio 1:1 by volume with two-part HS top coat:

Afterwards combine this mixture 4:1 by volume with a suitable two-part VHS hardener.
