Mixing Ratio
| 2 Parts | 1 Part |
| UCC | UA-70 (65°F – 85°F) |
| UA-80 (85°F – 95°F) | |
| UA-90 (95°F+) |
NOTE: Make sure product is at room temperature (72°F) before mixing.
APPLICATION
Apply base coat color according to manufacturer’s recommendations. Spray two wet coats of UCC, allowing 5 minutes flash time between coats. Apply 2 wet coats of a top coat clear, allowing UCC to flash to passing string test. Shop conditions, air flow, and reducer used will vary flash times. A good rule of thumb is to monitor the finish, allow each coat to go out of string before applying the next coat. (DO NOT rush your recoat time between coats. You could experience solvent popping if product .) All candy finishes must be clear coated. After 20 to 30 minutes begin applying 2 to 3 coats of Wetness 2145 high solids clear for maximum UV protection (Always refer to the appropriate tech sheets on the top coat klear you intend to use).
NOTES
- UCC can be reduced 5% with Reducer
- Adding reducers will decrease dry film thickness
- Adding standard grade urethane reducers will increase VOCs
- A minimum of 2 mils dry‐film‐thickness of topcoat is required for optimum UV resistance
SURFACE PREPARATION
- Apply base coat color per manufacturer’s recommended procedures.
- Allow 15 minutes dry time per coat before applying candy carrier.
- In temperatures below 70°F, a longer dry time is necessary for each coat of basecoat.
- Thoroughly tack surfaces to be painted with a clean tack cloth before applying candy.
