1)Add the following to a clean vessel:
Xylene 6.40
Shellsol A 5.70
Dowanol PMA 2.80
Butanol 6.00
2) Stir slowly then add the following while continuing to agitate:
Butylated Melamine Resin (70%) 18.30
Type 1 Epoxy Resin (75% in xylene) 6.40
Hydroxy Functional Acrylic (70%) 54.30
Silicone flow additive 0.10
