Layer Thickness Min. Max.

8 mils (0.2 mm) 16 mils (0.4 mm)*
* Thicker application can result in cracking

Ambient Air Temperature > 45 °F (7 °C)

Substrate Temperature > 45 °F (7 °C)
Pot Life ~ 4 hours
As the temperature will affect the pot life, application temperature:
▪ Above 73 °F (23 °C) will reduce the pot life and workability
▪ Below 73 °F (23 °C) will extend the pot life and workability
Final Set Time ~ 30 minutes tack-free time
Waiting / Recoat Times 2 hours minimum between coats
