 Koi-Kote
Application tips (all other colours)
Typical
working life - once the two parts are mixed together you will have
a maximum of 1 hour to use the product (at 10 -15 °C).
Koi-Kote
is a chemically cured coating and its working life decreases the
warmer the temperature (and vice versa), it is therefore advisable
to keep it out of direct sunlight and use as quickly as possible.
In
bulk the material generates heat so putting it into a paint tray
for roller application will increase its longevity.
Over
mixing will also introduce unnecessary heat and thus reduce the
workable life of the material.
Recommended
application tools are available from us (see
price list).
Once
mixed, divide the material into two or more containers and get some
help to put it on.
DO
NOT SPLIT PACKS OR TRY TO THIN THE MATERIAL as this will result
in the coating being insufficiently cured.
Koi-Kote
is a high specification solvent free epoxy coating, which is also
used in drinking water storage tanks, it is not a simple paint and
thus you will need to assess your particular project before mixing
any product.
Preparation
between coats - If you are to exceed more than 72 hours between
coats (at 10°C), it is recommended that you lightly abrade the
previous coat using a 40 grit sandpaper.
This
will ensure that, as well as providing a key for the next coat,
it will also remove insects that may have landed and any other high
spots.
It is good practice, however that if the coating is hard enough
to lightly abrade, then this will ensure the best possible surface
for the final coat to be applied to.
