Product Data Sheet

FSC-88 Filling and Smoothing Compound

DESCRIPTION:

FSC-88 is a solvent based, sprayable, brushable, or rollable primer/filler that is used to fill and smooth Precision Board prior to finishing with paints and coatings. Use FSC-88 when an ultra smooth surface is required, or as a primer prior to paint application. It dries rapidly and is easily sanded.

Prior to using FSC-88, use FSC-360 WB Crack & Repair material to fill large holes, cuts, or any other unwanted dents or damage.

 

APPLICATION:

Brush or Roller - Apply liberal coat to surface of Precision Board and thoroughly work into surface. Brush or roll out evenly and allow to dry, usually about 15 minutes. Recoat as soon as surface changes from gloss to flat matte. Apply second coast heavier than first coat. Apply third coat at same rate if desired surface has not been obtained. Please see Finishing Methods application instruction sheet. When applying by roller, reduce about 3% with mineral spirits to reduce roller drag and to slow drying time.

Spray - Apply initial coat to all surfaces requiring smooth finish. First coat should be a little lighter than subsequent coats. Do not allow to run. Allow to dry, usually 7-10 minutes. Apply second coat a little heavier than the first coat. Allow to dry. If surface has not reached the smoothness required, continue with additional coats until desired finish is obtained. Recoat as soon as surface changes from gloss to flat matte.

Prior to spraying, strain FSC-88 through 100 mesh strainer. Reduce 10%-15% using FSC-88 Reducer. If material tends to spatter during spraying, it should be thinned an additional 5%. Do not thin or reduce FSC-88 with any solvent other than FSC-88 Reducer, as it will severely slow drying time. Spray using standard pot, air atomized spray gun with a .015-.018 or larger spray tip. The larger the tip the less thinning required.

Sanding smooth can take place as soon as FSC-88 does not ball up on the sandpaper. Please refer to FSC-88 Finishing Methods instruction sheet. Do not sand between coats.

Remember that FSC-88 is a filling and smoothing material and must be coated with a suitable paint for exterior applications. After completely dry, it is compatible with all types of paints and finishes, including lacquers, automotive paints and gold leafing.

Clean up using standard mineral spirits. Due to the unusual polymers used in FSC-88, be sure to completely flush all lines and fittings, especially in the spray gun.

NOTE: It is always a good idea to prime and paint both sides of the sign to keep it from being warped by the drying paint. If you have questions regarding the use of FSC-88, please contact Coastal Enterprises Company at (800) 845-0745.
