5. until a smooth mixture is obtained Apply the gel coat layer in the mould of at least 1 mm layer thickness with a brush or other tool After the gel coat has set which takes 20 minutes you need to proceed the job within one hour to make sure the gel coat and the underlying material achieve optimal adhesion Cleaning Hands and skin can be washed using soap and water Clean the equipment with water directly after use We suggest that the brushes and equipment are cleaned in a bucket of water instead of in a wash basin as the hardening process continues under water Disclaimer The technical data sheet of any Acrylic One product is available upon request and must be read and understood before use Important The information in this user manual is considered accurate It is however not possible to derive any rights from the information with regards to its accuracy the achieved result by using the product nor that the use of the product would breach a patent The user needs to ascertain the suitability of the product for the application the user wishes to apply When in doubt the user needs to carry out tests to ascertain the suitability of the product ylic One verheidsweg 15a 3251 LP Stellendam The Netherlands T 31187 663006 E info acrylicone com Lut Van Dievel W www acrylicone com Laminating in a mould When laminating in a mould one can apply a gel coat first As soon as the gel coat has set after 20 minutes t
