Hi Wayne,
I think I posted the spec. paper on the DCU 2050 several months back. I know I was trying to but my father's scanner software wouldn't recognize the format. I don't recall if I ever got it to work!
Basically you are looking at automotive clearcoats. They will adhere to any prepared epoxy surface.(sanded and solvent washed) They are extremely hazardous and should only be applied by a pro with the proper equipment. (Bodyshops)
The UV protection is outstanding and I know that some steel roofing material that we painted and clearcoated for the government, 12 years ago, will still burn the retinas out of your eyes on a sunny day.
I did a fiberglass kayak with this stuff a couple of years back and except for a scatch or two it looks like it was done today.
( I am a bodyman/painter so I have access to all necessary equipment.I also use it every day.)
Ian
