Shelf life: MEKP (Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide) catalyst does have a shelf like for ap prox 6 months and should be kept in a cool environment and well sealed. The main reasons gel coat repairs fail to cure are using old stale catalysts and low temperatures. 2% is ideal, 3% is a fast mix. Additions outside these bands in not advisable for proper curing, in fact adding more than 4% may result in a failure to cure. The pot life of these mixes is also determined by temperature. The higher the temperature the faster the cure. The ideal temperature is 16 - 20°C. Please NOTE this 50ml bottle does NOT come complete with a dropper or pipette. Always read the product labels.
