Awlgrip topcoats require precise mixing of base, converter, and reducer. Wrong ratios cause poor adhesion, slow cure, or a cloudy finish. This calculator gives you the exact amounts for your batch size.
Select measurement system — Choose Imperial (oz, qt, gal, ft²) or Metric (mL, L, m²).
Enter area or volume — Input the surface area you’re coating, or enter a paint volume directly.
Select application method — Spray or Roll/Brush. Reducer ratio changes by method.
Select product type — Awlcraft 2000, Awlgrip Topcoat, or 545 Epoxy Primer.
Read the result — The calculator shows exact amounts of base, converter, and reducer. Results update automatically.
Spray: Typically requires more reducer for proper atomization.
Brush/roll: Use less reducer to maintain film build.
Pot life: 4–8 hours after mixing — mix only what you can use in one session.
Hot weather: Use Awlgrip T0006 slow reducer to extend pot life.
