Awl Grip Awl-Quik Epoxy Primer/Surfacer Paint -Yellow Base

AwlQuik D8003 Awl Grip Primer is a medium built, easily sanded two component epoxy primer/surfacer marine paint. It can be applied by brush, spray or roller easily and should only be used on boats above the waterline.

*** FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY ***

Surface Preparation: It gives best results if used as a surfacer over other Awlgrip Primer paint & can be applied by roller or brush to woods or fiberglass if they are prepared properly. To obtain best results, the surfaces should be sealed first with 545 primer.

Mixing and Reduction: Spray: Mix by volume 1 part D8003 base with 1 part D9001 until a smooth homogenous mixture is obtained. Reduce as necessary up to 50% with spray reducer T0006. 
Brush/Roll: reduce mixed D8003/D9001 as needed up to 50% with T0031.

After mixing, Induction time is 15 minutes. Pot life is 8 hrs at 77 F/50% relative humidity.

Application Instructions: 

Spray – Apply Awl-Quik sanding surfacer in smooth coats of 4 to 6 mils (100-150 microns) WFT yielding 2-3 mils (50 to 75 microns) DFT. Allow 4 hrs between coats at 77 F/50% RH.

Brush/Roller – Two coats will be required. Light sanding between coats will improve appearance. For large surfaces rolling, then tipping with a brush is preferred.

Avoid applying to surfaces less than 3 C/5 F above the dew point, to surfaces warmer than 41 C/105 F, or when ambient temperature is outside the range of 13 C/55 F – 41 C/105 F.
