Practice Safe Handling and Planning for Catalyzed Products

units that you're actually painting and coding um we're actually coding them we're not painting them because we're using a polyurethane so you're coating them with a 2k poly so it's really good to do um good to do good practice it's good for your customer it's good for you for confidence when it comes to uh warranties so you're less likely to have warranty related issues um especially like us we're i'm given a guarantee of five years you know on all of our cabinet repaints and coding so um it's highly highly recommended to catalyze your top coats so do you need to catalyze your um you know every coat that you do if you catalyze your first coat that's i'm going over the top of your primer coat or it's going over the top of a previous coating that you sanded and created a mechanical bond that that by catalyzing it you're going to get a superior bond to your surface and that's extremely you know giving you some confidence you know that know that you're going to get a good bond it's not going to come off and that's extremely important to me now if you don't catalyze the next coat that goes over the top of that you do need to sand in between your coats because you do have a catalyzed product that's hardening extremely fast so you not only sand so you get a mechanical bond in between coats but that way you can eliminate and see any imperfections as you're sanding over on your inspection light and you're continuing to create an extremely flat finish which is very important when you're doing high-end coatings you always want to sand to make sure that that finish is extremely flat but um if you don't top coat your final coat then you're not going to be getting that chip resistance on the top coat you're not going to be getting the chemical resistance you're not going to be getting that moisture resistance on that top go so it really is important to um to catalyze you know each code i know that's you know you are um limited by a pot life and then when that pot life experience expires you know that products no um not any good anymore but if you do proper planning you know it's um it's typically gonna work out for you you're gonna be able to get all your coats in and um get them done same day or if you don't if you can't get all your coats in you always just catalyze what you're going to need to use on that day so if i think i'm only going to use a half a gallon i'm going to catalyze a half gallon and then spray that half gallon if i need more i'll do pour off and…
