Product Preparation & Application
Material Preparation:
Catalyze Gem Var White Conversion varnish with pre-packaged catalyst kit in a stainless steel or plastic lined container. Mix or agitate thoroughly before use. Reduction may be required for certain types of application. SOL-9011 HAPs Free Thinner should be used for reduction. If a slower dry time is desired, use only SOL-9012 HAPs Free Retarder.
Application:
Gem Var Conversion Varnish Tint Base is designed for spray application. Temperature will affect viscosity. All products are designed to achieve the highest possible solids content at a viscosity low enough to allow proper spray atomization without the addition of costly chemical solvents. We recommend a coating system comprised of 2-3 coats of Gem Var Conversion Varnish Tint Base at 3-4 mils wet film build per coat. Maximum dry film thickness should not exceed four mils. This product is designed to be tinted with Industrial Colorants such as the Degussa 844 colorant line. These colorants should be added at levels not to exceed 8% by volume.
Clean-up:
Use #500 Gem Coat Lacquer Thinner or SOL-9011 HAPs Free Lacquer Thinner to clean all equipment. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and Local regulation regarding pollution.
