Product and Curing Problems
When I previously opened the can of Aeroglaze/Chemglaze, the viscosity was fine. Now the product is very thick. Can I just reduce it with Aeroglaze 9958 or Chemglaze 9951 and apply?
No. The coating has likely been exposed to moisture and started curing. Discard and use a fresh can. It is recommended to use the entire contents of the container once opened to avoid coating failure/defects.
It has been several days since I applied the epoxy primer and it is still wet or tacky. What I can do to make it cure?
Most likely this is due to incorrect mix ratios or the curative was not added. Remove coating and start over.
I applied a moisture cured urethane under the correct environmental conditions (70 degrees F and 50% RH) but after several days it is still soft and can be removed by wiping with solvent. How can I make it cure?
Most likely, the wrong thinner was used. Remove coating and start over.
How can I get the paint to dry faster?
For moisture-cured urethanes, increase the temperature and humidity of the cure environment. Do not bake moisture cured urethanes. The coatings psychrometric chart shows the appropriate application/cure environments.
For primers, the addition of heat will increase cure (140 degrees F for 1 hour). Note: this will decrease the recoat window.
I received leaking containers of Aeroglaze/Chemglaze. Are they safe to use?
No. Contact your freight forwarder for appropriate RMA procedures.
My customer complains of strong solvent odors when opening boxes of shipped parts. How can I reduce or eliminate the solvent odors?
This is normal. To alleviate odors let the coating completely cure in a well-ventilated area before placing in shipping bags/boxes.
My coated parts exhibit an unacceptable amount of surface defects. What went wrong?
