Mixing the product
If you desire to tint the gel coat with Evercoat Coloring Agents, mix the coloring agent into the
gel coat prior to catalyzing the material. The coloring agent can be added at a maximum amount
of 1 oz. per quart of gel coat. Adding color to white gel coat will produce a pastel color and
adding color to neutral gel coat will produce a bold color.
After tinting, add the catalyst to the gelcoat in the following proportions:
12 drops pf hardener per ounce of gel coat
11 cc of hardener per quart of gel coat
40 cc of hardener per gallon of gel coat
The product cannot be used if the ambient temperature is below 60 F. Mix only the amount that
can be used in 10 minutes. Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 1 minute. Be sure to scrape
sides and bottom of mixing container to insure a proper mix. Catalyzed mixture will begin to
harden in about 20-30 minutes at 80F. Gel times will vary with temperature.
Gel coat can be thinned for spraying by adding 10 to 15 percent acetone. Do not increase the
acetone amount beyond 15%, as it can retard proper cure and damage surface quality.
