FAQs
What is Plasti Dip Glossifier used for?
Plasti Dip Glossifier is used to add a high-gloss, polished finish to any surface that has already been coated with Plasti Dip.
How many coats of Glossifier should I apply?
Typically, 2-4 light, even coats are recommended for a consistent high-gloss finish. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions for best results.
Can I apply Glossifier directly to the original surface?
No, Plasti Dip Glossifier is designed to be applied over an existing, cured Plasti Dip coating. It is not a standalone sealant or coating.
What is the best way to prepare the surface before applying Glossifier?
The underlying Plasti Dip surface must be clean, dry, and completely cured. Remove any dust, grease, or contaminants. Always consult the provided preparation guide for detailed instructions.
How long does Plasti Dip Glossifier take to dry?
Drying times vary based on temperature, humidity, and coat thickness. It typically becomes dry to the touch within 30 minutes, but full cure can take up to 24 hours. Allow ample time between coats.
Can I remove Plasti Dip Glossifier?
Yes, Plasti Dip is removable. You can peel off the Glossifier layer along with the base Plasti Dip coat, provided it was applied correctly.
Will Glossifier change the color of my Plasti Dip?
While it enhances the depth and vibrancy of the color, it does not fundamentally change the base color itself. It adds shine and clarity.
Troubleshooting
Uneven gloss or streaking
Ensure the can is adequately shaken and spray in consistent, overlapping passes from the recommended distance. Apply additional light coats if necessary, allowing proper drying time between each.
Glossifier not adhering or peeling
The underlying Plasti Dip may not be fully cured, or the surface was not properly prepared. Ensure the base coat is completely dry and clean. Reapply Glossifier following preparation and application guidelines.
Cloudy or hazy finish
This can result from applying too thick a coat, insufficient drying time between coats, or application in high humidity or cold temperatures. Allow for proper curing and consider light sanding with very fine grit sandpaper (e.g., 2000 grit) followed by reapplication of light coats.
Glossifier feels tacky after application
The product may not have cured sufficiently. Ensure application conditions are within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid touching or using the coated item until it has fully cured.
