AwlGrip D3001 Converter is the catalyst or trigger component of the Awlgrip 545 two part epoxy primer system. Use with 545 primer base (D8001, D3001, D1001) component before applying Awlgrip or Awlcraft 2000 topcoats on aluminum, steel, fiberglass, or wood substrates.
Apply via brush, roller, or spray. For Fiberglass: Base must be mixed 1:1 by volume with D3001 converter. Spray reduced 15-25% with T0006 Primer Reducer. Brush reduced 0-20% with T0031 Topcoat Brushing Reducer. 2-3 mils (50-75 microns) dry film thickness/2 coats.
Overcoat with Awlgrip Awlcraft 2000 Topcoats, High Build Epoxy Primer, AWL-Quick Sanding Surfacer, and Ultra Build Primer.
Application equipment includes conventional spray, airless spray, brush, or roller.
Surface Preparation Aluminum: Sandblast or grind to 100% clean silver color or treat with Alumiprep 33/Alodine 1201/ Steel: Sandblast/grind SSPC-SP5-85 or Sa 2 1/2. Gelcoat/Fiberglass: Sand with 100-150 grit paper. Wood: Smooth sand with 80-100 grit paper.
Mixing and Reduction
Spray: Mix by volume one part 545 base with one part D3001 to a smooth homogenous mixture. Reduce up to 25% with T0003. Overall mix is 1:1 1/2 by volume. Example: 8 oz 545 base, 8 oz D3001, 4 oz T0006.
Brush/Roll: Reduce 5-10% with T0031. Below 75 F you may use Cold Cure Accelerator M3066 to maintain dry and cure times. Anticipated Pot life at 77 F and 50% relative humidity is 16 hours.
Application Instructions
Spray Application: Apply smooth, wet coats to fill and cover surface profile. Two to 3 may be needed at 5 - 6.5 mils WFT yielding 2-3 mils DFT.
Brush and Roller Application Apply 2 coats at 3-4 mils WFT yielding 1.0 - 1.5 DFT per coat. Allow 12-14 hrs between coats. Light sanding between coats will improve appearance. For large surfaces rolling, then tipping with a brush is preferred. Do not apply paint materials to surfaces warmer than 105 F or colder than 55 F. Do not attempt to cure products at temperatures below 55 F.
Warning Do not apply paint materials to surfaces less than 3 C or 5 F above dew point or to surfaces warmer than 41 C or 105 F. Ambient temp should be a minimum 13 C / 55 F and max 41 C or 105 F.
