Tooling gel coat is an abrasion resistant gel coat for making molds where gloss retention superior hardness exceptional craze resistance and minimum distortion are paramount.
Hi can i add some product for example acetone to thin the epoxy tooling gelcoat a little bit so i can spray it.
Tooling gelcoat cures to a much harder surface than regular gelcoat.
Ideal for all mould making applications.
Regular gecoat is meant for parts it is less brittle.
Tooling gel coat is a scratch resistant gel coat for making molds where gloss hardness and craze resistance and minimum distortion are key.
Eg60 epoxy tooling gel coat can be used in ambient temperatures between 15 c 59 f and 30 c 86 f.
I believe it is also more brittle but that is ok for a mold because you will not flex the mold you will the part.
Ensure that both gelcoat and hardener containers are within this temperature range before use.
A high performance resin with excellent physical and mechanical properties.
Gelcoat usually referes to polyester group of resins.
Our orange tooling gel coat offers excellent contrast allowing you to gauge the gel coat coverage and differentiate between your finished part and the mold.
