1. Do I add
water to SurfaSolve? |
| No! Water will
cause the material to crash and stop working. |
| |
|
2. How do I get
rid of SurfaSolve? |
|
You don't, just keep using the material and top off with
fresh material when the level gets low. |
|
|
3. My workstation
looks dirty, don't I have to change it out? |
|
The color of SurfaSolve in the workstation does not
matter, it will pick up dye from the catalyst, pigments
etc however the color is no indication that it needs
changing. When the bottom fills up six inches or more of
solid material, then it would be time to filter this out
and top your workstation off. The time depends on usage,
for 6-8 workers under heat this would be every month or
two. |
|
|
4. Why do I need to
use a workstation with SurfaSolve? |
|
Workstations are very important in several ways/ One
reason is the large volume of SurfaSolve in the
workstation, allow resins and glass to settle out of the
SurfaSolve and not become part of it. Another reason is
the large volume also allows for the most efficient use
of SurfaSolve and it gives it time to recycle itself. If
you use a container instead of the workstation the resin
will quickly go to the bottom and when you lay a roller
head in the container it will most likely gel. The
brushes in the workstation also quickly clean the resin
from rollers and tools, much quicker then even acetone.
Workstations are critical for the success of SurfaSolve.

5. SurfaSolve
leaves an oily film on my tools, don't I need to wipe
that off? |
|
The film is simply the surfactant (soap) that has not
dried off yet, usually within a minute or two it will
most likely be gone. This residue will no affect the
resin or the operation of the tools in any way. If you
think it feels too slick to hold then just wipe off the
handle and not the entire tool. |
|
|
6. Will SurfaSolve
ruin my latex gloves like acetone does? |
|
SurfaSolve will not degrade latex gloves like acetone
and you will get extended use from these types of
gloves. We do not recommend using nitrile gloves,
SurfaSolve will quickly dissolve them, if you are latex
sensitive then we recommend placing a nitrile glove on
and then putting a latex over that so you do not expose
yourself to the latex. |
|
|
7. What do I do
with the material in the bottom of the workstation? |
|
Generally the material accumulated at the bottom is
polymerized resin and should be filtered and allowed to
dry. This should then be profiled one time and then
refer to the recycling SurfaSolve section of your
SurfaSolve manual. |
|
|
8. Does SurfaSolve
need heating? |
|
For regular use there is no heating required for
SurfaSolve. For situations where you have gelled tools
or parts, heating the material to 190 F and soaking will
remove most gelled items. The time to soak depends on
how much gelled resin there is, the thicker it is the
longer it needs. |
|
|
9. Is SurfaSolve
flammable or hazardous? |
|
SurfaSolve is not flammable or combustible and it is not
considered hazardous material. It ships DOT
non-regulated. |
|
|
10. What if I get
SurfaSolve in my laminate, will it stop the cure? |
|
SurfaSolve has been thoroughly tested and proven to not
cause resin to stop curing even up to 50% in resin and
will not blister the gel coat unlike acetone and other
water based cleaners. |
