Description

LITE WEIGHT® OPTEX® is a smooth spreading, high quality, clog free, lite weight body filler formulated with patented OPTEX Color-Changing Technology. There’s no second guessing; once mixed with cream hardener, Lite Weight OPTEX changes from pink to green indicating the repair is ready to sand.

PREPARATION:

• Clean and degrease the entire panel to be repaired with soap and water, followed by a mild cleaning solvent.  Surface must be thoroughly dry before repairing or applying material.

•  Measure hardener 2% by weight (add a ribbon of cream hardener from edge to edge across the center of a 4” diameter puddle).
• Puddles larger than 4” (10 cm) in diameter will require additional hardener. Mix thoroughly until uniform color is achieved.

APPLICATION:

• Apply in layers with even firm pressure.
•  Do not apply all at once.
• The repair will gradually change colors from light pink to a light grey-green, indicating the repair is dry and ready to sand.

FINISH:

• Rough shape with 80 grit
• Sand filler with 80 grit or finer.
• Final sand repair and paint edge 180 grit.

For best results, apply a premium Evercoat polyester putty to provide a smoother finish and reduce the amount of primer surfacer needed for a quality finish.
