ICE Fx

ICE Fx is a self-activated coating that works over a smooth or sanded surface and achieves full crystallization in about ten to twenty minutes. Using ICE Fx you have the ability to create the final unique pattern and create effects which are truly amazing! 

Apply ICE Fx on motorcycle tanks & guards, feature panels on motor cars, trucks, caravans, boats, jet skis, surfboards, skateboards, bench and counter tops and almost any other object.

Application:

ICE Fx is inexpensive and simple to use, with a little practice almost anyone can become an expert. Simply follow our easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

Prepare and paint the surface with your choice of our Base colours. This base colour will become the colour that shows as the lines through the crystals.

IMPORTANT- Prepare with 600- 800 grit paper for an even smooth finish, this is important for the solution to spread and not bead up. DONT GIVE IT A LIGHT SCUFF, SAND IT DEAD WITH NO PEEL. Best applied over sanded clearcoat

Do not spray the crystal through your spray gun, best applied with sponge or pump spray bottle

Apply the ICE Fx in a lighter coat for small crystals and a wet or heavy coat to achieve the large crystal effect across the surface.
ICE Fx will achieve full crystallization usually within 10 - 20 minutes at an average temp of 20 - 25 degrees C Wait for complete forming of crystals on the entire area you are working.

By applying heat you can force the crystals to dry quickly, this will result in smaller woven crystals. While allowing them to air dry will produce larger more densely spaced crystals. Generally the higher the heat, the smaller the pattern and the cooler the larger and woven the pattern shall be.

Once dry, Now apply your contrasting color (the color that will be shown through the spaces in the crystals). Apply this coat in a light dusting action. Note: Take care to apply only a light coat as a wet coat of paint will make it harder to remove the crystals. Its always best to mix your base 1:1 or over reduce it slightly

Using lots of warm water and a rag or sponge, scrub off the crystals. This will leave you with a very pronounced crystal design.

Allow any excess water to dry.

Please note that this solution can only be used on the solvent bases, as you have to use water to scrub off the remaining crystals.
