T35 – Akzo Nobel
Polyester gel coats are very porous materials. Each pore creates a relatively sharp transition with the surface, this sharp edge is subjected to increased photo-initiation. These holes are also collectors of micro-debris resulting in increased chemical reaction & degradation. Obviously keeping this to a minimum by polishing is essential.

Most gliders produced since the late eighties have been finished only in Scheufler T35. Before that date Grob, DG, and Glasflugel had used Schwabelack while the others used T35 Vorgellack and still do. Schwabelack is out of production. 

Please make sure that he will get with him:

- All glider documents (Maintenance Manual, Flight Manual, current logbook, valid insurance, last CofA, last ARC)

- All trailer documents (trailer registration papers, valid trailer insurance) - it is very important to avoid unexpected control costs

- For trailers without registration papers please make sure that they can be towed legally with Polish registered car

After refinishing a yearly wax polishing, preferably with a UV barrier wax, will help protect the gel from the damaging effects of the atmosphere and UV. Polishing will also have the effect of filling and levelling the remaining surface giving a smooth and level finish. The possibility of damage to the surface will automatically be reduced if it has a high gloss finish. The better the gloss the lower the reactivity.

You may do the delivery yourself. It will save you some money but will take you time. If necessary we are happy to support you and book a hotel for you, advice driving directions and greet you locally.

Vorgellack (T35) is an old type of gel that that we used to do final finish on gliders up to 2003. Vorgellack is the most prone to cracking caused by UV damage. T35 is less durable gets yellows faster than PU but is cheaper and easier to work with. The exposure to UV and a damp atmosphere results in a colour change. When cracking damages the surface as these cracks deepen they propagate into the structure damaging the top fibreglass layer. T35 provides a good base layer for 2-pack paint finishes. 

Normally sprayed with a base coat of T35 and a special DuPont primer coat. When spraying it is difficult to build up the thickness of the coat because it is very thin paint and results in a thinner layer.
it is said to minimise the effects of UV radiation. Difficult to work and takes about 4-5 days longer refinish process then T35. Very thin ( that is, thin like water) compound so possible "fish eyeing" problems during the spraying process. 

You can choose from:
PU
T35

PU - Imron Elite DuPont

The paints we use do not have specific RAL number.
