1. MIXING & APPLYING KANDY KONCENTRATE
Generally, to make one gallon of unreduced Kandy requires two 8 oz. cans of Kandy Koncentrate to one gallon of Klear. Use this information as a guide when mixing.
For Urethane Enamel Finishes:
- When mixing with Kosmic Kandys, UC-1 Klear, UC-35 Klear, UFC-1 Flo-Klear, UFC-35 Flo-Klear or UFC-19 Komply Klear, reduce and catalyze, making 1 quart.
- Then begin adding Kandy Koncentrate in half ounce increments. Usually by viewing the stir stick, the degree of intensity can be determined.
- Color should appear rich to achieve color density in few coats. See tech sheet for Kandy and appropriate clear tech sheets for mixing and application instructions.
- When mixing with SG-100 Intercoat Clear, simply reduce and begin adding Kandy Koncentrate in half ounce increments.
- DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN 4 COATS OF SG-100.
- Not recommended for overall paint application and is not designed for hi-build. See tech sheet for mixing and application instructions.
NOTE: Generally, a 1 to 1 reduction prior to addition of Kandy Koncentrate is common.
For Acrylic Lacquer Finishes:
- When mixing with Kosmic Kandys and SC-1 Sunscreen Clear, thin, making 1 quart.
- Then begin adding Kandy Koncentrate in half ounce increments. Usually by viewing the stir stick, the degree of intensity can be determined.
- Color should appear rich to achieve color density in few coats.
- See tech sheet for Kandy and appropriate clear tech sheets for mixing and application instructions.
- When matching door jambs, etc., to the outside color - check color match frequently. It is easy to get too dark before you know it.
- If color should become too dark, you may add small amounts of your base to the Kandy to lighten it, then return to straight mixed Kandy to achieve your color match.
