Q: Do I need ventilation while applying Supergloss?
A: Yes. Always observe safety procedures when using Supergloss or any chemical.

Q: Won't the Supergloss burn if I touch it with the flame from my propane torch?
A: No. Use a lose flame and keep it moving over the entire surface. I once stopped moving the torch long enough for the fire to lightly scorch the wood beneath the layer of Supergloss, but the Supergloss did not burn even then.

Q: I need to waterproof a darkroom sink. I was thinking about coating the entire sink in one seamless coating of Supergloss 1/16" thick. Would the darkroom chemicals react with the Supergloss?
A: Probably not. You could paint the sink white and seal it with clear Supergloss. Don't forget to plug the drain with a ball of wax.

Q: Can I color Supergloss?
A: In small quantities IASCO RESINAL PIGMENTS have shown compatibility with Supergloss. Mix color to side "A" then mix "A"& "B" together in exactly equal amounts.

Q: I'm doing a project in my garage and the temperature might dip down below 70 F. at night. Is it O.K. to leave a 6 hour old pour overnight, at these temperatures?
A: No. The first 48 hours of a pour must be kept warm. In fact, the warmer the better would ensure the plastic maturing into full properties. For most projects a couple of halogen worklights 20" away will stave off a chill.

Q: I'm covering a sculpture carved from styrene foam. Will Supergloss attack it?
A: No. Styrene foam tolerates a coating of Supergloss well. It smoothes minor imperfections in the surface. Pay close attention to what you're doing if you use a torch to de-bubble.

Q: I tried to mount a newspaper article to a wooden board using Supergloss. The paper became transparent and printed through from the other side. I could not read the printing. Is there a way to fix this?
A: There is no way to fix the project as it stands. On your next attempt, waterproof your newsprint with a sealer (IASCO SUPRA-SEAL) or you can use white glue diluted 50% with water. The solution will dry clear and waterproof, preserving the opacity of the newsprint.
