1. MIXING KOMPLY KLEAR II (UFC-19)

MIX ONLY WHEN READY TO SPRAY. Mix by volume, 2 parts UFC-19 Komply Klear II to 1 part KU-190 Komply II Catalyst to 1 part RU-300 VOC Exempt Reducer. Mix well. Pot life is approximately 3 hours depending on shop conditions.

NOTE: No reducer other than RU-300 VOC Exempt Reducer can be used to remain at 1.9 VOC. In non-VOC areas, any Kosmic Reducer may be used.

NOTE: AX-01 accelerator may be used to speed up flash times.

NOTE: We have designed specific catalysts to work with each of our clears. The catalysts are NOT interchangeable. Use only the catalyst specified for the specific clear you are using.

NOTE: KU-190 catalyst is moisture sensitive and will not keep for long periods once opened. When doing many small jobs, buy smaller containers to prevent spoilage. Keep container tightly sealed. Clean the catalyst container pour spout by wiping the threads with reducer for easy reopening.

2. APPLYING KOMPLY KLEAR II (UFC-19)

• Apply one medium coat with 50 pattern overlap, wait approximately 5-10 minutes (do "URETHANE FLASH TEST" below).
• Follow with a full wet coat, wait approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Allow flash time between coats (do "URETHANE FLASH TEST" below).
• Apply a second wet coat.
• Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 6 inches.
• Air pressure at the air cap should be 50-55 psi for conventional; 10 psi for HVLP (may vary with equipment used).

URETHANE FLASH TEST - PAINT SHOULD BE STICKY AND NOT STRING WHEN TOUCHED AT THE WETTEST POINT BEFORE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. (When using the flash test, always touch a new spot.) Monitor religiously for maximum merging of coats.

Dry time between coats is approximately 10-20 minutes depending on shop conditions. High heat or high humidity conditions will accelerate cure time. Always check dry time using the flash test.

CAUTION: Too long a wait between coats can cause wrinkling or lifting. Also too fast a re-coat can cause pinholes or solvent popping during cure. If excessive dry time has elapsed and clear coat feels dry to touch, allow 24 hours before sanding and re-coating to avoid lifting problems.

NOTE: Prior to baking, leave the booth fan running for 30-45 minutes (until finish is out of tack).

3. FINISHING

UFC-19 Komply Klear II may be color sanded or buffed in approximately 24 hours, depending on your shop conditions. See tech sheet for Polishing and Finishing instructions.
