Usage Instructions (General Guidelines)

1. Thinner selection: choose Reducer Slow 538365 when the workshop temperature is high or when the repair involves multiple panels or a full repaint, to avoid too rapid surface drying.
2. Mixing: incorporate the thinner into the clear + hardener Autoclear 2.0 mixture respecting the proportions recommended by Sikkens (ratio indicated on the technical data sheet).
3. Application: apply the clear under the recommended booth conditions, respecting evaporation times between coats. The “slow” thinner allows more time for the film to level properly.
4. Drying: carry out drying at the recommended temperature (e.g., 40 °C or 60 °C depending on the system), taking into account the longer evaporation time linked to the use of Reducer Slow.
5. Finish control: after complete cooling, it is possible to dull and polish to correct minor defects and optimize gloss.

Note: always refer to the Sikkens Autoclear 2.0 technical data sheet and safety data sheet for exact ratios, application parameters, and detailed drying times.
