Please read all instructions and recommendations carefully before

Mix 60% catalyst (Ceramit PART B) with 40% color (Ceramit
PART A) (3 part catalyst
to 2 parts color). Mix in a disposable container such as a paper cup or carton.
When mixing small amounts, measuring by weight instead of volume may be
easier. If you want a more
flexible result, use a 50/50 mixture instead of 60/40.
Ceramit is a kind of epoxy.
That means, among other things, that it is difficult to remove from any
surface that it is in contact with.
For this reason, mix it in a disposible container.
To remove Ceramit, use Shor "Attack" epoxy remover (stock
#38.325).

Ceramit can be applied by the following methods:
Brush, Spray Gun, Squeeze Bottle, Medicine Dropper, Hypodermic Syringe,
Spatula or any other method which will achieve the desired effect.
�
4.
Ceramit can be used as supplied.
However, some methods of application, like spraying, may require a low
viscosity. To thin, mix 1 part Ceramit Thinner with 1 part of Part A.
Mix this in a 50/50 ratio with Part B.
Do not attempt
to thin with any other product.
When low viscosity Ceramit is sprayed on curved or vertical
surfaces, preheat the surface to 200-300°F.
�
5.
High Viscosity Ceramit Part A is available for certain
applications, such as curved or
vertical surfaces. It is helpful
to preheat the surface to
which Ceramit is to be applied to a temperature of 200-300°F.

6.
Ceramit has an excellent pot life, from 14 to 16 hours for regular
Ceramit, and 6 to 7 hours for High Viscosity Ceramit. Pot life may
be prolonged by placing the mixture in a refrigerator, in a sealed bottle,
when the mixture is not in use.
�
7.
Ceramit should be applied in thin layers. In applying to curved or
round surfaces, apply several thin coats. If you wish to apply in thicker
layers, let the mixture stand for a few hours to let it become thicker
before applying.
High Viscosity Ceramit can also be used in this way. If applied
in layers, it is important to
cure each layer before applying the next.
�
8.
Additional colors of Ceramit may be applied over cured layers.
Colors mixed with one another to create many unique colors and shades. To achieve a
"deep" finish, apply coats of clear Ceramit upon normal colors being used. The
"wet" look can also be achieved this way.
�
9.
Ceramit cures at room temperature.
Thin layers obtain reasonable hardness within 24 to 48 hours.
Do not try to cure at temperatures below 70°F.
Heat accelerates the curing process.
It is best to use temperature controlled portable electric heaters or
infrared lamps. Do not cure in gas
or microwave ovens as Ceramit contains flammable solvents. The recommended curing cycle is 250°F for
½ to
¾ hours. To prevent
discoloration of white Ceramit, use 225°F. for 1 hour.
Lower temperatures may be used: however, the length of curing time at
lower temperature must be increase.
It is recommended that Ceramit be applied in thin layers.
Thick layers require more time to cure.
