SMC – can be used for cosmetic repairs. For structural repairs prone to high degrees of stress
and flexibility, use an SMC repair product.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
1. Clean surface. Remove all dirt, oil, grease and wax with a cleaning solvent like Wax &
Grease Remover.
2. Make sure surface is dry before repairing.
3. Use 40-80 grit disc to featheredge paint for good mechanical adhesion.

MIXING:
For best results, bring filler and provided hardener to room temperature (minimum temperature
75ºF). Stir product before dispensing with a bottom to top motion. Knead hardener tube before
use. Place a 4” diameter puddle of filler on a clean mixing surface (we recommend a nonabsorbent
plastic mixing board) and add a ribbon of cream hardener from edge to edge across
the center of the filler puddle (puddles larger than 4” will require additional hardener); or measure
hardener at 2% by weight of filler – a 50 to 1 ratio. Mix thoroughly with a plastic spreader, using a
folding motion, until uniform color is achieved. At room temperature (75ºF) approximate setting
time is 3 – 5 minutes.

APPLICATION:
1. Using a plastic spreader, apply a thin layer of filler to surface, using firm pressure for
maximum adhesion.
2. Apply additional layers, if necessary, building up damaged area higher than surrounding
metal surface to allow for sanding of filler.
3. IMPORTANT! DO NOT RETURN UNUSED MIXTURE TO CAN AS IT WILL HARDEN THE
REMAINING CONTENTS.

FINISHING:
1. When material has cured, in approximately 15 minutes, sand with a 80-120 grit sandpaper.
2. Finish sand with 180-240 grit.

TOPCOATING:
May be topcoated with polyester, 2K urethane or 1K primer. Refer to paint manufacturer’s
instructions for topcoat application.

HEALTH & SAFETY:

protection. When sanding, we recommend the use of a respiratory covering device to protect from
dust (MSA mask P/N 459029 with MSA cartridge 464029 or equivalent). When using power
equipment, refer to power tool manufacturer’s recommendations for safety equipment. 5 STAR
