-
Shake the bottle well to blend the rich mica particles.
-
Apply a thin, even layer using light pressure (thanks to the thicker formula).

Allow the self-leveling formula to work its magic—Brush-X™ helps minimize streaking.
-
Cure for 30 seconds under LED light.

Repeat with a second layer if desired, then finish with Aprés Non-Wipe Top Gelcoat.
