open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>It is common to cut back on the cream hardener\/catalyst when working in hot temperatures to extend working time, however excessive under-catalyzation can lead to post-paint repair mapping\/movement, or even cracking under extreme conditions.<\/p>\n<p>This can occur when the filler is radically under-catalyzed and painted to a dark color. When the repair is exposed to the sun the panel heats up thus reactivating the uncured materials and causing the filler to post-cure and move. If the filler is excessively under-catalyzed the solvents in the filler that should have hardened in the curing process may even begin to gas off and dry out leading to the filler cracking. To avoid these issues Evercoat recommends catalyzing fillers at a ratio of 50:1 (2%) and use below 90\u00b0F\/32\u00b0C to provide ample working time.<\/p>\n<p>It is not recommended to catalyze Evercoat fillers below the minimum ratio of 1%. Ambient heat will not offset the incorrect catalyst ratio to create a proper cure. To help achieve more working time it is recommended to store the filler and cream hardener\/catalyst in a cool dry area before use to help slow down the reaction and provide the needed working time. Cooling the panel before the application of the repair material can also help to extend the working time.

To help you and your customers understand how to prevent staining and ensure a quality repair, we will discuss both the cause of staining and the best way to prevent staining from occurring.<br \/><strong>What causes Staining?<\/strong><br \/>Staining can be caused by either under-catalization or over-catalization. Under-catalization will result in an incomplete cure and unreacted chemicals that migrate up through the vehicle\u2019s finish. Some of these chemicals can migrate up through the primer and base coat to cause discoloration in the clear coat. Most under-catalization stains are visible as yellow, orange or pink in the affected area on white or lighter colored vehicles. Cheap Clear Coats without UV protection can also encourage staining over fillers.<br \/><strong>Ways to prevent staining:<\/strong><br \/>The best way to prevent staining is to use a stain-resistant formula like the Evercoat Rage family of Products (Rage Ultra, Rage Gold, Rage Extreme and Rage). The Rage family of products is made of Premium Resins specifically designed to prevent staining.<br \/>Always Use a Two-part polyester finishing and blending putty over the Body Filler. The 2 part finishing putty will help prevent staining when used under basecoat\/clearcoat paint systems. In addition, Evercoat finishing putties such as Metal Glaze Ultra, Metal Glaze and Easy Sand spread smoothly, are easy to sand and easily fill grind marks, pinholes and uneven surfaces.<br \/><strong>What if I have a stain?<\/strong><br \/>If staining is present, sand the surface and apply polyester or epoxy primer to block the further migration of the unreacted chemicals. Allow to dry and sand according to Manufacturers recommendations. This can correct the stain without removing the filler.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.evercoat.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/TT-SOLVENTS-OVER-POLYESTER-FILLERS-8.2018-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>DOWNLOAD PDF VERSION<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Body Filler Application to OEM Paint&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The following Evercoat Fillers, Putties, and Polyester Primers have been approved for use on properly prepared OEM coatings:<\/p>\n<p><strong>FILLERS<\/strong><br \/>\u2022 Rage\u00ae Ultra<br \/>\u2022 Rage\u00ae Optex\u00ae<br \/>\u2022 Commercial Ultra<br \/>\u2022 Commercial Optex\u00ae\u2122<br \/>\u2022 Rage\u00ae Ultra XTRA\u2122<br \/>\u2022 Quantum1\u2122 Large Repair<br \/>\u2022 Light Speed\u2122 Optex\u00ae<\/p>\n<p><strong>PUTTIES<\/strong><br \/>\u2022 Metal Glaze\u00ae<br \/>\u2022 Glaze Coat<br \/>\u2022 Metal Glaze\u00ae Ultra<br \/>\u2022 Metal Glaze\u00ae OEM\u2122<br \/>\u2022 Metal Glaze\u00ae Optex\u00ae<br \/>\u2022 EverGold\u2122 Putty<br \/>\u2022 Easy Sand\u2122<br \/>\u2022 Z-GRIP GLAZE\u00ae<br \/>\u2022 Poly-Flex\u2122<br \/>\u2022 Spot Lite\u2122<br \/>\u2022 Polyester Glazing Putty<br \/>\u2022 Euro-Soft\u00ae<\/p>\n<p><strong>POLYESTER PRIMERS<\/strong><br \/>\u2022 Super Build 4:1<br \/>\u2022 Optex\u00ae Super Build 4:1<br \/>\u2022 Finish Sand 4:1<br \/>\u2022 Fiber Fill 4:1<br \/>\u2022 FEATHER FILL\u00ae G2\u2122<br \/>\u2022 SLICK SAND\u2122<br \/>\u2022 *Light Speed\u2122 LED Cure HB Primer<\/p>\n<p><em>*Must be cured with the appropriate UV LED Lamp.

This is the relationship between the travel of the pistol grip and the plunger. For example, a caulking gun with a MA of 4 means if you depress the grip 2\u201d, the plunger will advance into the cartridge 0.5\u201d.<br \/>Generally, cheaper models with thin sheet metal carriages have a MA of 3-8. These caulking guns are <strong>not<\/strong> recommended for <strong>MAXIM\u2122<\/strong> products. The recommended manual caulking gun for these products should have an MA of 18-26. <strong>MAXIM\u2122 Bonding Adhesives and Seam Sealers<\/strong> (two-component) work best at 26 MA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>PNEUMATIC CAULKING GUNS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The force is adjusted by regulating the pressure of the incoming air. Almost all pneumatic caulking guns have a 2\u201d air cylinder. This limits the maximum force that they can develop. The performance of a cordless electric and a pneumatic caulking gun is similar when extruding a 1\/8\u201d to 3\/8\u201d bead. When extruding a larger bead and maximum output is required, the cordless electric gun is superior. One advantage of the pneumatic caulking gun is the weight. A pneumatic gun is usually one-half the weight of a cordless electric.<br \/><strong>Note: If a pneumatic caulking gun is used with MAXIM\u2122 products, it must be a single-action, rod-driven pneumatic gun. One that works well is #61004LP made by Cox Quality Sealant Applicators.(<\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cox-applicators.com)\">www.cox-applicators.com)<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Do not use a standard pneumatic caulking gun i.e. (Astro Tools #405)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>CORDLESS ELECTRIC CAULKING GUNS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The cordless caulking gun is an ideal approach for MAXIM\u2122 products.

There are numerous types of plastics. Though, most plastics can be grouped into two families: thermoplastics and thermoset plastics. It is necessary to identify the type of plastic being repaired so the proper repair can be performed.<\/p>\n<p>Thermoplastics are formed with heat, and then cooled to shape. These plastics can be reshaped again by reheating and cooling. This can be done because there is no chemical reaction between the heating and cooling process. Thermoplastics can be cosmetically repaired with Poly-Flex using general repair procedures (i.e. sanding, cleaning and application of Poly-Flex). Within the thermoplastics there is a sub-group called olefin plastics. An example of olefin plastics are (TPO) Thermoplastic Olefin, (PE) Polyethylene and (PP) Polypropylene. Olefin plastics are the most difficult to adhere to. Therefore, it is recommended that an extra step is followed when repairing olefin plastics. The additional step of an adhesion promoter and\/or a heat treatment is required. This additional step is required because olefin plastics contain a Mold Release Agent from the manufacturing process. It is recommended that a flame treatment be used to promote adhesion of Poly-Flex.<\/p>\n<p>The second family of plastic is known as thermoset plastics. Thermoset plastics are manufactured with a chemical reaction, and therefore cannot be reformed or softened with heat.<\/p>\n<p>Thermoset plastics fall into two categories: flexible or rigid. Examples of rigid thermoset plastics are (SMC) Sheet Molded Compounds and Fiberglass. Some examples of flexible thermoset plastics are urethanes such as (PUR) Polyurethane, (RIM) Reaction Injected Molded. These types of plastics may also require general preparation (i.e. cleaning, tapering, or sanding) prior to using Poly-Flex.<\/p>\n<p>Conducting a \u2018sanding test\u2019 can identify Thermoset plastics and thermoplastics. Thermoplastics will smear or drag when power sanded. Thermoset plastics will sand to a fine powder and produce dust whether they are rigid or flexible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FLAME TREATMENT<\/strong><br \/>The process outlined below will oxidize the surface to enhance the adhesion of Poly-Flex on olefin plastics.<br \/>1. Clean and scuff the repair area and sand with 180 to 220 grit at a low RPM<br \/>2. Remove the sanding dust with an air blowgun<br \/>3. With a propane or butane torch sweep the area allowing the tip of the flame to lightly pass over the repair NOTE: Do not let the flame heat the surface of the repair; heating the plastic can pull the mold release agents to the surface and cause poor adhesion for the repair material<br \/>4.
