Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, degreased, and free from contaminants. The S2086 must be mixed with the appropriate hardener at a 3:1 ratio by volume. It is compatible with most standard solvent-borne and waterborne basecoats. After spraying, clean your equipment immediately with a high-quality gun wash to prevent the product from curing inside the nozzle. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and always seal the tin tightly after each use to prevent moisture contamination, which can degrade 2K formulas.
