APPLICATIONS

Warning: Your can of Hardener/Activator is sealed tightly. Remove lid carefully, cover with a paper towel while prying it off to avoid accidental spillage or splash. Your Hardener/Activator is very sensitive to moisture and humidity, so try to open it in a dry area. Keep it tightly capped when not in use.

PARTIAL MIXES You may mix partial quantities of 2K Urethane—White for small jobs, and you may use any measuring device you happen to have around (coffee scoop, measuring spoon, cups, etc.). All you have to do is follow this formula:
Mix 1 part Hardener/Activator with 3 parts 2K Urethane—White
2K Urethane— White Paint has a long pot life, up to 4 hours, if the lid is kept on the mixed batch (min. air in can) when it is not in use.

2-part WhiteCote is easy to mix, beautiful when applied & incredibly Tough!

Before: We degreased and lightly wire brushed a section of this badly rusted chair from a junk pile.

Then we painted right over the rust with POR-15, for a permanent solution

After: Then we covered the POR-15 with beautiful WhiteCote, for a tough, permanent finish. (It turned out so nicely, we decided to do the whole chair, and keep it!)
