Awlgrip OT0005/1QTUS Hot Weather Reducer/Retarder, Quart

The Awlgrip OT0005/1QTUS Hot Weather Reducer/Retarder is a specialized solvent designed to optimize the application of Awlgrip and Awlcraft 2000 topcoat systems in warm temperature conditions. This quart-sized reducer slows down the evaporation rate of the coating, providing extended working time and improved flow characteristics when ambient temperatures would otherwise cause rapid drying and potential application defects.

Key Features:

• Formulated specifically for hot weather application conditions
• Compatible with Awlgrip, Awlcraft 2000, and Awlcraft SE topcoat systems
• Can be blended with other Awlgrip reducers in any ratio for precise evaporation rate control
• Extends open time and improves flow characteristics
• Helps prevent dry spray, orange peel, and bridging in high temperatures
• Professional marine-grade formulation for superior finish quality

This reducer is essential for achieving optimal results when applying premium yacht coatings in temperatures above 80°F (27°C). By slowing the solvent evaporation rate, it allows proper flow-out and leveling, ensuring a smooth, professional finish on boats, marine vessels, and other high-performance coating applications.
