Stage 1
Preparation: |
A white base
primer filler should be applied and rubbed down.
Repeat stage 1 until an indiscernible fading out (visual and touch)
to the original colour and finish is achieved. It is pointless progressing
beyond stage 2 until you have achieved the indiscernible fading out
(visual and touch) to the original colour and finish as the final coat
can only be as good as the finish achieved with the initial primer coat. |
Stage 2
First colour coat
|
Apply the
first colour coat only to the white primer area fading out to match the
white primer fading out. Any over spray onto the original colour at this
stage will give a darker appearance to that over sprayed area which will be
a remaining visual feature. (highlighting your repair) |
Stage 3
Second colour coat |
Repeat stage
2 with the paint thinned to 20%.
|
Stage 4
Rubbing down |
Once the
second coat has cured (the time scale will depend on temperature and
humidity) rub down with a scotch cloth, gentle small circular motions to
give the final coat a good surface to lay on. Do not expose any of the white
primer as the final coat will have a high degree of transparency. |
Stage 5
Finishing coat |
Thin
the paint to 50% and adjust the spray to minimum for this the final coat.
The area to include the original board for about 20cm over spray. Do not
apply too much paint or more than two spray passes. |
Stage 6
Finishing touches
|
Once this
final coat is cured you can matt down the finish if required by buffing down
to a matt finish with a scotch cloth, gentle small circular motions or buff
up to a final gloss finish with a soft cloth. |
Aqua Grip application instructions
Please read all the
instructions before you attempt to apply the Aqua Grip
|
Aqua Grip overview |
Aqua-Grip is ideal to re-grip any board. Aqua-Grip gives a durability and professional finish your board. Aqua Grip can also be used in conjunction with Aqua-Grip additive to give a more durable finish. |
Stage 1
Preparation
|
Flush
the board with fresh water as the grip will not adhere to salt water or
water containing minerals such as those found in some reservoirs. Now
clean the surface and remove all flaking
materials. Aqua Grip is clear and
therefore all marks left on the board will be visible and sealed in by the
grip. |
Stage 2
Preparing the Aqua Grip
|
Shake can vigorously for several minuets before use. |
Stage 3
Test
Spray
|
Test spray in an inconspicuous area on your board to check the compatibility with the surface you are planning on re-gripping. |
Stage 4
Appraising the test area
|
Once you are satisfied that the Aqua Grip and the board you are re-gripping have no adverse reactions to each other, you can continue to re-grip your board. |
Stage 5
Spraying on the Aqua Grip
|
Hold the Aqua Grip can about 50cm from the surface of the board and apply the Aqua Grip evenly over the surface. |
Stage 6
Cleaning the Spray Nozzle
|
As soon as you have finished spraying, hold the can upside down and give a short spray to clear the nozzle of the grip fluid. |
 Grip Additive application instructions
Please read all the
instructions before you attempt to apply the Aqua Grip
|
Grip Additive
|
If you are
applying grip additive, this must be applied without delay to the wet
Aqua Grip. As the Aqua Grip cures it will seal in the grip additive
particles to give you a long lasting grip coating. |
Stage 1
Grip Additive Application Test
|
If you are
not using a using 200bar ceramic wide nozzle powder spray for the
additive application, you can use
an empty jam
jar with an old nylon stocking secured over the top. Do a teat sprinkle onto
a sheet of coloured paper to make sure the nylon stocking is of the correct
openness to give you the desired covering. Once you are satisfied with the
result of your sprinkle, pour the Grip Additive back into the jam jar and re
apply the nylon stocking over the opening. |
Stage 2
Grip Additive Application
|
Now apply the Aqua Grip as
detailed in the Aqua Grip instructions above and immediately apply the Grip
Additive
while the
Aqua Grip is still wet. |
