Definition:

• Two-Part Steel Filling Paste Set -DA 787 300 A2-

Product Description

This filling paste is made of polyester and a metal powder mixture and is used to produce true-to-contour surfaces on highly stressed body surfaces. This filling paste works especially well as a replacement for lead-coated alluvial tin.

This filling paste is pliable and sandable while maintaining a high degree of firmness and temperature stability, which makes it especially suitable to be painted over.

Note

The Two-Part Hardener, Long -LVM 018 100 A2- must be used at temperatures over 30 ºC (86 ºF) and / or with a relative humidity over 80 %.

Application Instructions

Base Surface

Suitable base surfaces:

• Steel
• General metallic base surfaces
• Galvanized sheet steel

Pre-treatment of base surfaces:

• Carefully remove any grease and sand the base surface. The base surfaces must be prepared using the → Chapter "Pneumatic Brush Grinder Set -VAS6446-". This means down to the bare metal with P40 grit sandpaper. If necessary, clean the dirty surface once again and then remove any cleaning residue again using the brush grinder.

• Clean once more using silicone remover before reworking.

Processing

Application type: Filling

Mixture ratio:

• Both components are mixed in a ratio of 1 part by volume of hardener liquid and 2.5-3 parts by volume of powder or 10 grams of hardener liquid and 58 grams of powder to create a product that can be spread.

Note

Avoid using too much hardener liquid, since this can negatively affect the final strength and adhesion of the filling paste.
