Application Guide:

1. Surface Preparation: Clean and degrease the surface using Panel Wipe. Abrade the surface with appropriate grit paper (P80 for bare steel, P180 for original paint, and P180 for GRP). Re-clean and dry the surface.

2. Mixing: Thoroughly mix the filler with the BPO Hardener according to the specified ratios.

3. Application: Apply the mixed compound to the prepared surface using a pressing action to reduce air entrapment.

4. Curing: Allow the filler to cure as per the specified times.

5. Sanding: Once cured, sand the filler as per the specified grits to achieve a smooth surface.
