Water-based, acrylic – aliphatic polyurethane clear. Dries to a consistent finish with excellent mar resistance. Use as top-coat over any Createx paint for indoor & outdoor paintjobs and as adhesive primer direct to metal, plastic, wood and more.. UVLS Clears Have 3 Functions
•Top-coat clear for exterior & interior applications such as sign, costuming, modeling and more.
• Perfect top-coat to any Createx paint for applications other than automotive.
• Excellent flexibility for cosplay & costuming.
•
Allow 48-hours air drying before direct contact with water and 5-days minimum
air drying before water submersion.
•
Excellent mar resistance. UVLS Clears withstand direct contact without showing
abrasion.
•
Works excellent as inter-coat clear to tape and mask over. Scuffing not
required up to 48-hours after application.
After
48-hours, dry sand with 600 - 800 grit.Pin-hole free coverage is achieved with
3 medium coats.
Apply
coats medium, wetted so they look glossy during application but not so much
material that the coat “milks up”, that is appears cloudy due to excess build.
•
Each coat should be ~ 0.5 - 0.75 mil. wet.
•
Apply with a 50/50 overlapping pattern.
•
If coat appears cloudy, allow extended drying time.
•
Avoid over-atomizing; clears are best applied at lower psi settings for best
adhesion and highest gloss-level of 4050 Gloss. Dry-sprayed coats will lose
gloss and adhesion.Scuffing underlying paint is not required.
•
When applying 4050 Gloss Clear as an adhesive primer, dry sand substrate 400 –
800 grit.
• Clean sanded substrate with a solvent-based degreaser, not a water-based cleaner, prior to applying 4050 Gloss Clear.
Drying Times & Curing
Estimated
drying and curing times are set at 70⁰F (21⁰C) and 50% or less relative
humidity (RH). Allow for extended drying times when painting in colder temperatures
or more humid conditions. Painting in temperature below 60⁰F (15⁰C) not
recommended.
Re-coat
times are approximately 10 – 15 minutes.
•
Allow clears to dry matte (non-wetted).
•
There are no time windows, if in doubt, allow for extended drying time. Time to
tape is 45 – 60 minutes after application.
•
When applying direct to difficult substrates, allow for extended drying times,
up to 48-hours for
substrates
such as polished stainless steel that is not sanded for paint preparation.
•
Scuffing clear is not required when taping UVLS Clears ~ 48-hours after
application. After 48-hours,
UVLS
Clears cure hard and tape will lay down best when Clear is dry sanded 600 – 800
grit.
Do
not use heat to assist to force dry as this may result in loss of adhesion. Use
warm air to assist drying times.
Allow
6-hour minimum air drying before sanding & polishing. Full cure is in
excess of 48-hours after
application.
Allow
5 days minimum drying before water submersion.
Use
as a Primer – 4050 Gloss Clear is an excellent adhesive primer for direct
application to any substrate other than silicone.
•
Direct-to-Metal primer with excellent adhesion to any metal including brass and
steel without risk of corrosion.
For
best adhesion onto polished, non-sanded metals, allow 48-hours air drying.
•
Direct to most plastics including 3D print composite material, polycarbonate,
styrene and more.
•
Excellent wood primer. Protects without raising wood grain. Prevents underlying
oil and tannin bleed-through.
Use
as a candy2o carrier
•
4050 Gloss Clear is the best medium to mix with concentrated candy2o colors.
•
4050 Gloss is better than mixing candy2o with 4030 Balancing Clear as a more
durable and uniform
candy
color is created that dries quicker.
• Mix 4050 Gloss 6:1 candy2o, then, optional, thin with 4011 Reducer 5% - 10% per volume.
Mixing & Thinning UVLS Clears
UVLS
Clears are thinned with 4011 Reducer 5% - 10%per volume.
•
Allow reduced UVLS Clear 10+ minutes to acclimate before spraying. The added
reducer breaks down surface tension in the clear for improved flow & leveling.
• Distilled or deionized water may be used 5% - 10% per volume to thin clears, do not exceed as drying times and adhesion will be affected.
Application
UVLS
Clears may be applied by spray-gun, airbrush, or traditional brush.
•
Spray-Gun: 1.3mm – 1.4mm
•
Mini-Gun: 1.0mm – 1.2mm
Follow
gun manufacturer’s psi recommendations.
• Airbrush: 0.5m ~ 20 – 25 psi
Storage
UVLS
Clears do not have a pot-life after mixing with reducer. However, as 4011
Reducers promote drying and curing, only reduce clear intended for application within
a 12-hour period for best spray consistency, flow and leveling.
Keep clears capped air-tight when not pouring from the bottle. Store away from direct light in a cool, dark environment such as a paint cabinet or box in a closet.
Compatibility
UVLS
Clears are compatible as a clear or primer with any Createx paint.
•
Compatible as a top-coat or primer for other paint types, both water-based and
solvent-based.
•
Always allow paint to dry thoroughly before top-coatingwith UVLS Clear.
Cleaning
from Airbrush or Spray-Gun UVLS Clears are best rinsed from the airbrush or
spray-gun
with 5618 Airbrush Cleaner or 4011 Reducer. Use 4008 Restorer as a rinse for final clean to remove dried paint.
Cleaning UVLS Clears after Curing
UVLS
Clears should only be cleaned thoroughly dried. Use a solvent-based degreaser
or odorless mineral spirits to clean.
Often, a dry, tack-free wipe is adequate to clean UVLS Clears.
Health & Safety
Use
in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes. Washhands thoroughly with
soap and warm water after use.
Donot
ingest. When spraying or sanding, use a properly fitting NIOSH / MSHA approved
respirator.
Eye
contact: Rinse with clean water for 15 minutes. Seek
medical
attention.
Inhalation:
Use in in well ventilated areas and wear a NIOSH /
MSHA
approved respirator.
