[Coat West Jgv

[Betty Neyhart]

<div>For the second application we chose a solvent based epoxy, discussing the project with the epoxy manufacturer several times (it actually says specifically in their manual to do so), and also receiving additional information from Coppercoat on what to do differently this time. We keep our fingers crossed that this knowledge now has provided a good result that will last for many years to come.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Coat West Jgv</div><div></div><div>Download: https://t.co/bkutfeKcd9 </div><div></div><div></div><div>We hope you have found this interesting and might help you in any upcoming project.

Jag r Mbelsnickare och jobvat mycket med btar mest tr. Anvnt epoxi i mnga r.</div><div></div><div>Blev vldigt nyfiken p hur mycket info ni snt till west. Var det bara till svenska generalagenten elker gick ni vidare.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Tnker p att det var ngon form av kontaminering. Men vad r det som epoxyn inte gillade som gjorde dessa blsor.</div><div></div><div>Hur djupt dk ni ned i olika lsningar. Tnker p olika sandpappers bindemedel som gr att pappret inte stter igen.</div><div></div><div>Skulle vldigt grna av ren nyfikenhet och vill alltid lra mig mera. Hra av frn er.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Tack ?</div><div></div><div>Vi snde all info vi hade om bda btarna till West och deras tillverkare Gougeon Brothers, Inc. Vi gick till och med s lngt att vi hade telefonsamtal med hgsta VDn i USA, men den mesta av kontakten frdes med deras tech-team i UK. De hade ven en representant frn Danmark som var ver och tog egna prover och studerade hur det sg ut.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Det svra med teorin om kontaminering r att man skulle lyckas hitta ngot som lyckats kontaminera bda btarna. De pratade mycket om att det skulle varit kontaminering i acetonen vi anvnde (men vi anvnde ju inte samma aceton p bda btarna), eller att det skulle suttit ngot p skrovet som vi svepte runt med acetonen. ven sandpapper och vilka trasor vi anvnt diskuterades (men ven hr hade vi anvnt olika). Fr vr del s knns det som att det antingen var en kontaminering som kom frn epoxin eller ngot med klimatet som gjorde det. Teorin med klimatet r att eftersom det tar ungefr 2 dagar innan det r genomhrdat s mste frutsttningarna vara samma under hela den perioden, vilket det s klart inte var eftersom vi var ute. Vr kl klarade sig ifrn blsor, men den r i massivt bly och har ju ett trgare klimat n skrovet, och rodret som mlades inomhus blev ocks bra.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Tyvrr fick vi aldrig mer svar n s. Vi frskte f till en lsning att West skulle komma hit och ta upp bten p land (inomhus) under hsten fr att hjlpa oss gra om det och ha mjlighet att ta nnu fler prover men det var tyvrr inget de var intresserade av och tillslut knde vi att det enda vi gjorde var att hjlpa dem frst sin produkt bttre utan att f ngon hjlp tillbaka s d avslutade vi dialogen och brjade skrapa bort allting p egen hand.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Solvent based epoxies are, as you say, more porous and in theory solvent free epoxies result in a more compact barrier. But even so, solvent based epoxies, if applied to the correct thickness, will provide a moisture barrier that is more than sufficient.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Applying epoxy under Coppercoat is very debatable, and we did it because we believe that as you buff and/or sand the Coppercoat surface you will over the years remove some of the barrier the Coppercoat has created, making it thinner and thinner. We talked about this with Coppercoat, and they have very specific procedures to handle the different epoxies underneath to create a good bond and dealing with the amines/escaping solvents. The Coppercoat had boneded very well to the West System, and it did bond just as well to the GelShield we applied this year, so I have no doubt they know what they are doing ?</div><div></div><div></div><div>Va trkigt att hra att ni rkat ut fr samma! Anvnde ni ocks West? Vi fick tips om att gra om epoxibehandlingen eftersom den var sen 2004 och vi inte hade ngon historik angende vad den rkat ut fr sen dess (tex skador eller liknande som inte tgrdats korrekt) och vi skulle gra lite frstrkningar och drmed bryta skyddet av den gamla behandlingen. Det, i kombination med att vi skulle lgga just Coppercoat som ska vara i 10+ r, gjorde att vi valde att gra om det s att vi skulle kunna vara skra p att vi har ett fullgott skydd i mnga r framver.</div><div></div><div></div><div>That is true and something we also discussed. However, we choose to go with the theory that as you buff and/or sand the Coppercoat surface you will over the years remove some of the barrier the Coppercoat has created, making it thinner and thinner, so we reasoned that it would be good to have a protection underneath that would not be affected in the same way. Different theories, but all supported by Coppercoat ?</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hi! Ni dk upp p min instagram och sen sg jag att ni hade lite bekymmer med west system,</div><div></div><div>Jag har gjort hela min swan 59 ink fairing</div><div></div><div>Med west system och var lite nyfiken p proceduren som ni genomfrde innan ni la p produkten, tvttades bten, vilket slip papper som anvndes och dem olika stegen, mer detaljerat d jag inte sg nn info p de,</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hej!</div><div></div><div>Proceduren har gtts igenom av West System och dess tillverkare i alla detaljer och man har inte kunnat hitta ngot som bde vi och vra btgrannar gjort likadant eller anvnt samma saker, drfr har vi inte beskrivit detta mer i detalj hr d det helt enkelt knns irrelevant fr vr historia. Skicka grna ett mejl om det r ngon specifik detalj du vill veta mer om! Tyvrr kommer vi inte ha mjlighet att beskriva hela proceduren p nytt d vi frsker lgga hela den hr hndelsen bakom oss, hoppas du frstr!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hi! First of all, shout out to you for talking about just how essential it is to fix the outside gelcoat with a non-solvent epoxy for any significant dents or scratches to keep it waterproof. I feel like the right thing I should do now is telling my cousin about this so he can take appropriate preventative actions pronto. He just bought a water slide for his backyard pool recently but noticed some minor damages on its surface.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As President of Decking Around, I have been working with Westcoat for 20 plus years, over all these years we have grown together and I consider them to be family! We have been through a lot of improvements and changes but what hasn't changed is the great support we as contractors need to keep our business thriving. Westcoat gets a Five Star rating from me, keep up the great work and is always a pleasure to be part of the family.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I found the Westcoat product line about 10 years ago when my Epoxy Company was only a year old. We had struggle with hot tire pick up with our previous product line. The Westcoat reps were always available to answer questions and guide us. Ten years later we still continue to grow and I prefer Westcoat as my product line. I highly recommend everyone to install this product and we continue to use their products daily.</div><div></div><div></div><div>We have used Westcoat materials for 7 years. The quality and technical support is second to none. The team at Westcoat does more than provide a quality solution, though. They are true partners who are as committed to our success as they are to their own.</div><div></div><div></div><div>BBH has been applying the Westcoat systems for the past 14 years & cannot say enough about its durability, applicator friendly products, and wide range of finishes, creative marketing & one of the best service support teams I've ever worked with. You never feel like you are on your own when facing challenges in the field. After working with Westcoat for several years, you realize that it's a privilege to be part of a great culture aside from the product lines.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Using the Westcoat family of coating products has allowed me to one-stop-shop all of my coating projects needs from Cementitous to Waterproofing to Epoxies. With Westcoat I secured my largest cementitous coating project ever and their support goes far beyond just answering questions. My representative answers the phone after hours and across time zones and is always at the ready to lend support to me. He helps prior to the sale with trainings through the sale and application with site visits and post sale with follow ups and warranty documentation. Couldn't be more happy satisfied as a coating contractor/estimator.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Apply a minimum of two coats of WEST SYSTEM epoxy for an effective moisture barrier. Apply three coats if sanding is to be done. Moisture protection will increase with additional coats, up to six coats or about a 20-mil thickness. Additives or pigments should not be added to the first coat. Mixing thinners with WEST SYSTEM epoxy is not recommended.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Disposable, thin urethane foam rollers, such as WEST SYSTEM 800 Roller Covers, allow you greater control over film thickness. They are less likely to cause the epoxy to exotherm and leave less stipple than thicker roller covers. Cut the covers into narrower widths to reach difficult areas or for long narrow surfaces like stringers.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Complete all fairing and cloth applications before beginning the final coating. Allow the temperature of porous surfaces to stabilize before coating. Otherwise, as the material warms up, the air within the porous material may expand and pass from the material (out-gassing) through the coating and leave bubbles in the cured coating.</div><div></div><div>Prepare the surface for epoxy bonding.Mix only as much epoxy resin/hardener as you can apply during the open time of the mixture. Pour the mixture into a roller pan as soon as it is mixed thoroughly.Load the roller with a moderate amount of the epoxy mixture. Roll the excess out on the ramp part of the roller pan to get a uniform coating on the roller.Roll epoxy lightly and randomly over an area of approximately 2 ft x 2 ft to transfer the epoxy evenly over the area.As the roller dries out, increase pressure enough to spread the epoxy into a thin even film. Increase the coverage area if necessary to spread the film more thinly and evenly. The thinner the film, the easier it is to keep it even and avoid runs or sags in each coat.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Apply second and subsequent coats of epoxy following the same procedures. Make sure the previous coat has cured firmly enough to support the weight of the next coat. To avoid sanding between coats, apply all of the coats in the same day. After the final epoxy coat has cured overnight, wash and sand it to prepare for the final finish.</div><div></div><div> 795a8134c1</div>
