Substrate

Suitable substrates:

Sheet steel

Galvanised sheet steel

Aluminium

Well-sanded factory paint or old paint

Fully cured, primed two-pack surfacers and two-pack primers

Cleaned and sanded UP-GF (fibreglass) surfaces, free of release agents

Caution This filler may not be applied to PVB (acid-curing) surfaces or 1-pack primer (e.g. synthetic resin).

It is also unsuitable for thermoplastic or viscoelastic paint.

Substrate pre-treatment:

Carefully remove any grease and sand surface.
Isolate any bare metal surfaces using 2-pack wash primer -LHV 043 000 A2-, and then apply 2-pack HS Performance surfacer. Sand surfacer after drying.
For UP-GF (fibreglass) substrate parts, remove residual release agents and lightly sand surface.
Before recoating all substrates, use a suitable cleaning agent to ensure a clean surface free of residues.

Application

Manner of application:

With filling knife

Mixing ratio:

Add 2-3% by weight 2-pack hardener -LVM 018 000 A1/A2- or, especially at high temperatures, 2-pack hardener, slow-drying -LVM 018 100 A2-.

Note Avoid adding too much hardener, as this can lead to bleeding through, especially with dayglow paints and light metallic colours.

Pot life:

At +20 °C ambient temperature, approximately 2-4 minutes

Reaction temperature:

At least +5 °C

Drying

Air drying:

At +20 °C ambient temperature, approximately 20-30 minutes

Infrared drying:

Short-wave radiant heater, 3 minutes (at 50% power)

Medium-wave radiant heater, 5 minutes

Sanding

After the drying times given above:

First sanding dry with P80 to P240-grade sandpaper
Second sanding dry with P240 to P400-grade sandpaper

Note

Heat resistant to +80 °C.

Recoating

Recommended structure:

Apply fine filler alone.

Coat fine filler with 2-pack fine filler -LSP 784 002 A2- or with 2-pack spray filler -ALN 788 007- (except on galvanised sheet metal).

Prime sanded-down metal surfaces and filled surfaces again using 2-pack wash primer -LHV 043 000 A2-, and then apply 2-pack HS Performance surfacer.

Then recoat with top coat.

Note Before applying filler, the entire surface must be dry sanded with P280 to P400-grade sandpaper.
