FAQs
What is the purpose of the red hardener paste?
The red hardener paste acts as a catalyst for Tetrosyl Polyester fillers, initiating the chemical reaction that causes the filler to harden, making it suitable for sanding and painting.
Can I use this hardener with fillers from other brands?
No, the Tetrosyl EXH001 Red Hardener is specifically formulated for use only with Tetrosyl Polyester fillers. Using it with other brands may result in improper curing or poor performance.
How much hardener should I mix with the filler?
Refer to the instructions on the specific Tetrosyl Polyester filler product you are using. The recommended ratio is crucial for proper hardening. Typically, it involves mixing a small, specific amount of hardener until the color is uniform.
What is the shelf life of the hardener paste?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, the hardener paste typically maintains its effectiveness for an extended period. Always check for signs of degradation or separation before use.
How should I store the hardener paste?
Store the hardener paste in its original, tightly sealed tube in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use.
What should I do if the filler doesn't harden?
Check that you used the correct hardener-to-filler ratio, that the hardener is not expired, and that it was mixed thoroughly. Ensure the ambient temperature is suitable for curing.
Is this product available in sizes other than 40g tubes?
This specific product is listed as 40g tubes. The pack contains 12 such tubes.
Troubleshooting
Filler not hardening or hardening too slowly
Ensure you are using the correct Tetrosyl Polyester filler and that the hardener has not expired or been contaminated. Verify that the mixing ratio is correct as per the filler's instructions. Store the hardener in a cool, dry place.
Filler hardening too quickly
This may indicate too much hardener was used or the ambient temperature is too high. Ensure you are following the recommended mixing ratio precisely and work in a well-ventilated area at a moderate temperature.
Uneven hardening or soft spots
Thoroughly mix the hardener with the filler until a consistent color is achieved, ensuring no unmixed pockets of filler or hardener remain. Ensure the hardener is evenly distributed throughout the filler mass.
