Q: Can UKK01 be used by itself without adding Kandy Koncentrates?
A: Yes, it can be used as a transparent carrier or clear, but the intended use is as a base carrier for Kandy Koncentrates to produce custom translucent color effects.
Q: What catalyst and reducer must be used?
A: Use KU152 catalyst only (other catalysts like KU100, KU150, KU151 are not compatible). Use RU-series reducers (RU310 to RU313) or LV reducers (RU300/RU301) depending on shop conditions.
Q: How many coats and what flash time is needed?
A: Typical application calls for 4 to 6 coats with 50 - 75% pattern overlap. Allow each coat to flash for 10-20 minutes. Use medium wet coats and avoid rushing recoats to prevent solvent popping.
