Duratec Clear High Gloss Additive can be blended with numerous gel coats to create a glossy, smooth finished surface. Mix at a 1:1 ratio with regular gel coat to reduce viscosity and porosity, improve gloss level, and permit a complete open-air cure. It can also be blended at 15% with tooling gel coats to upgrade mold surfaces, improve gloss retention, increase impact resistance, and reduce heat distortion. The reduction in viscosity allows gel coats to be sprayed controllably through siphon and HVLP equipment, reducing sanding and polishing time. When used for repairs, this product will result in a low porosity surface. PLEASE NOTE: When making below-the-waterline repairs on boats, we recommend adding our #71 Styrene Wax to maximize hardness. Requires 2% MEKP. Duratec is a registered trademark of DURA TECHNOLOGIES INC.

Perfect additive for gel coat.
I needed an additive to allow me to do a spot gelcoat repair on a boat using a Preval sprayer, and this was recommended. It had the added bonus of allowing the gelcoat to completely air cure without having to have a wax-added gelcoat. I mixed this 50/50 with the gelcoat, added some white pigment to age match the color and then mixed in the MEKP, and applied with the Preval sprayer in light coats. The repair came out stunning. The gloss was so good, I had to finesse and wax the rest of the boat to match! I highly recommend this as a way of being able to spray a gel coat repair without having to have high end equipment.
