About this product

A three-component urethane built for speed on pedestrian decks: tack free in 2 hours, but light foot traffic only after 36 hours. Vehicles need 24 hours more, and the sheet tells you to call technical service for substrates over 90°F or under 40°F.

Using this specific product

Gaco GacoPoly FASTPASS PT is listed here as the Three-component polyurethane coating system version for pedestrian traffic decks. For coating or sealing a roof, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • Confirm the package says Three-component polyurethane coating system; related versions can use different timing.
  • For pedestrian traffic decks, pay particular attention to roof temperature, dew, rain in the forecast, film thickness and how many coats are needed.
  • At 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. At 77°F (25°C) and 55% relative humidity. The source gives no conditions for this time.

How to check readiness

Check that the surface is dry and that no rain or dew is forecast inside the stated window. The data sheet gives a pot life of 25 plus or minus 5 minutes. The data sheet says the applied coating is tack free in 2 hours. Try a protected edge first and avoid turning, dragging or concentrated loads.

Avoid this mistake

Rain resistance and walkable are earlier milestones than the full cure the roof system is rated for.
