Our pigment is mixed into the gel coat before the catalyst is added, so can be compared against the hull nearest the damage. For the very best results, use a polishing compound on the damaged area of the hull first, to remove oxidation and get to the true underlying color.
Stir or shake color pigment well before using. Use small amounts of colorant to tint base. Mix thoroughly after each addition. Add or mix colorant to one-quart resin/gelcoat. Test on a piece of scrap material before continuing the project.
We suspend the pigments in an epoxy resin base which allows them to blend thoroughly into the epoxy to make very uniform colors. Because the pigment has an epoxy resin base, it is important not to add more than the recommended amount. Adding an excessive amount of pigment to the epoxy could alter the resin/hardener ratio, compromising cured epoxy performance.
ALWAYS MIX COLOUR PIGMENT WITH RESIN/GELCOAT BEFORE ADDING HARDENER OR CURING AGENT.
