quickrack Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Just got 5 liters of this with 2 liters of hardener. Last of this guys old stock. Any special care needed to spray it? Whats the ratio for mixing. Using both cans equals 2.5 to 1.
harris horse power Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 yep special care would be to wear a mask also the mixing ratio is 5:1
quickrack Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Posted May 16, 2008 real fine filter or piped in air type mask???
Fiesta Steve Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Ideally you want an air fed visor, if you were using it at a place of work you'd need to to meet health and safety regs, but if you doing it in your garage at home a fine partical mask will be better than nothing, the choice is yours. All paints will have different mixing ratios depending on manufacturer. You may need to thin it down as well. The primer I'm using at the moment is 4-1-1. 4 parts primer and 1 part each of thinners and hardener.
deluxemk1 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 They are as you say normaly 4 part paint to one hardener to one thinner, or it can be 5 to one to one or three to one to one tell me the make of the primer and il probably be able to tell you. For gods sake add the same amount of thinner as hardener or it will be like flatting concrete and will go on like porridge! 80 percent of em is 4.1.1 mix ratio. You will be okay with a mask as its thick and doesnt throw up like laquers etc.
Rick Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 i always mixed my paint 50/50 with the hardener and then a dash of thinners no wonder it dries so quick
