It is cured with the supplied catalyst hardener, which starts the setting reaction. The chopped strand matting adds rigidity and reinforcement and conforms easily to tight curves and corners. Once cured, the repair is water resistant, sandable and paintable, and the resin can be tinted with paint (up to 5%) for a solid colour match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndoors: repairs to fibreglass items, timber and other household surfaces, plus craft and workshop fixes such as surfboard repair.\u003cbr\u003eOutdoors: caravans, boats, trailers, bikes and cars, fibreglass pools, water tanks and water skis, downpipes, leaky gutters, metal roofs and rusted panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable materials include fibreglass, steel, iron, aluminium, timber, PVC, masonry and smooth polyester or wooden surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibreglass resin, 1kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibreglass chopped matting, 1m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibreglass resin catalyst hardener, 15ml (dropper bottle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitrile gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasuring cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplicator brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing stick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing bucket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbrade the damaged area and clean it, removing loose debris and old paint, because poor surface preparation is the usual cause of failed repairs. Cut the matting to size, then mix the resin and hardener in the supplied bucket, stirring for at least two minutes and scraping the bottom and sides so it mixes evenly. If you want to tint the resin, add the paint tint before the hardener. Brush a coat of mixed resin over the repair, lay the matting into it, then saturate the matting with more resin, dabbing to push out air pockets. Add further layers while the previous one is still wet, or lightly sand a cured layer before adding the next. Leave the repair to cure fully (the manufacturer states about 24 hours), then sand smooth and paint if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways follow the mixing instructions on the pack. Under-mixing leaves soft, uncured patches. Epoxy resin can be applied over fully cured, dewaxed and well-sanded polyester, but polyester should never be used over cured epoxy. Cure time is slower in cold weather. Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid breathing in sanding dust once cured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge Fibreglass Repair Kit (model PF-FKIT1000)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 kit: 1kg resin, 1m² chopped matting, 15ml hardener and application tools\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResin type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyester, low styrene emission (LSE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush, hand lay-up with supplied tools\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull cure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 24 hours (manufacturer guide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSandable and paintable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior and exterior; water resistant, UV resistant, shrink resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 215 x 215 x 197mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep it away from heat, sparks and open flames.
