Melcher Manufacturing Composite Fiberglass Ramps

Conditions required for ensuring proper bonding of materials (IMPORTANT!)

  • Temperature - The ramp and resin materials should be a moderate 70 degrees before starting. Do not apply materials in direct sunlight or on ramp that has been in the sun absorbing heat.
  • Resin material - If temperature is above 75 degrees, the resin will dry too fast. If it’s below 55 degrees, the resin will dry too slowly or not dry at all.
  • Materials needed:
    1. Polyester (fiberglass) resin and appropriate catalyst (hardener) purchased at your local home improvement center, marina, or fiberglass shop.
    2. Dispenser with non-skid material.
  • Safety guidelines:
    1. Read and understand all labels on containers.
    2. Wear safety glasses and appropriate gloves to protect your hands.

Surface Preparation:

  1. Power wash surface to remove all grease and dirt.
  2. Allow it to dry.
  3. (Recommended) Remove most of the old non-skid material with a disc grinder using a 16-grit disc on the entire surface. Grind to the resin surface, not through it.
  4. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and dust-free before starting.

Resurfacing:

  1. Mix one gallon of resin and one ounce of the catalyst using a painter's stir stick in a plastic disposable bucket. NOTE: This should be done quickly to provide the most working time for the resin.
  2. Immediately pour the resin onto the clean surface of the ramp as evenly as possible, then finish spreading the resin with a 4-inch disposable putty knife.
  3. Release the non-skid material from the cardboard dispenser by pulling the tab to release the material over the ramp. For maximum and efficient coverage walk briskly with the dispenser alongside the ramp, starting at one end then going to the other and back and forth until the material completely covers the wet resin. If the non-skid material has not covered all of the ramp, distribute any excess non-skid material by tipping the ramp side to side to cover the light areas of the ramp. Do not spread the non-skid material with your hands or a tool as it will create lumps in the surface of the ramp.
  4. When the resin is dry, broom off excess non-skid material. If in doubt that it is dry, wait overnight.
  5. Dispose of all empty containers and materials according to Federal, State, and Local Regulations.
