This Tetrosyl EXH001 Red Hardener is designed exclusively for use with Tetrosyl Polyester resin body fillers.

What is the purpose of the red color?

How should I store the hardener?
Store the hardener in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use.
What is the shelf life of the hardener?

Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening or remaining soft
Ensure you have used the correct Tetrosyl Red Hardener with Tetrosyl Polyester filler. Verify that the hardener and filler were mixed in the correct ratio as per the filler's instructions. Check the expiry date of both products; old hardener may lose effectiveness.
Filler hardening too quickly or becoming brittle
You may have used too much hardener. Reduce the amount of hardener in your next mix according to the filler's instructions. Ensure you are working in a cool environment; higher temperatures can accelerate curing.
Uneven hardening
This often indicates insufficient mixing. Ensure the hardener is thoroughly and evenly mixed into the filler until a uniform color is achieved before application.
