Awlquik Epoxy Primer/Surfacer, Base D8003

Type: Epoxy Polyamide
Packaging: Available in 1 gallon and 1 quart containers
Theoretical Coverage: Sq. Feet/Gallon: 609 Sq. Feet (57m2) at one mil dry (25 microns).
203-305 Sq. Feet (19-28m2) at recommended dry film thickness.
Calculated for mixed base and converter reduced 50%.
Coverage calculations are based on theoretical transfer efficiency of 100%. Actual coverage rate obtained will vary according to equipment choice, application techniques, part size, and application environment.
Recommended Wet Film Thickness: 5 mils (125 microns)
Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 2-3 mils (50-75 microns)
Recoatability: At 77F/50% R.H.
Spray: may be overcoated with itself, 4 hours; with 545 Primer or topcoat, 12 hours. 
Brush Roll: with itself, 12 - 14 hours, with other products 12 - 14 hours.
Maximum without sanding: 24 Hours. May be overcoated with Awlgrip/Awlcraft 2000 Topcoats, and 545 Epoxy Primer.
Note: Sealing Awlquik with 545 Primer before applying an Awlgrip/Awlcraft 2000 topcoat will maximize gloss and D.O.I. of the topcoat. 
VOC:   Base (D8003) – 436 g/lt or 3.6 lbs/gallon
Converter (D9001) – 354 g/lt or 3 lbs/gallon

Surface Preparation
Best when used as a surfacer over other Awlgrip Primers. May be applied by brush or roller directly to properly prepared wood or fiberglass. Best results are obtained when these surfaces are first sealed with 545 Primer.

Awl-quik 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
Example: 8 oz. D8003, 8 oz. D9001, 8 oz. T0006.
Brush/Roll: Reduce mixed D8003/D9001 as needed up to 50% with T0031. For wood substrates reduce D8003/D9001 50-70% with T0031.
Induction Time after Mixing: 15 Minutes
Anticipated Pot Life at 77°F/50% R.H: 8 Hours

Awlquik Application Instructions
Spray: Apply AWL-QUIK® Sanding Surfacer in smooth coats of 4 to 6 mils (100 to 150 microns) WFT yielding 2 to 3 mils (50 to 75 microns) DFT. Allow 4 hours between coats at 77°F,  50% R.H. 

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.
Do not apply paint materials to surfaces warmer than 105°F or colder than 55°F. Do not attempt to cure products at temperatures below 55°F.
Warning: Do not apply paint materials to surfaces less than 3°C (5° F) above dew point, or to surfaces warmer t han 41°C (105°F).  Ambient temperature should be minimum 13°C (55°F) and maxim um 41°C (105°F).
