• Ensure all application equipment is free from water or alcohols prior to use.
• Part B is moisture sensitive and should remain tightly closed before use.
• Always mechanically mix product in full pack volumes.
• Ensure the components are thoroughly combined until a uniform colour is obtained.
• The product should be sprayed at close proximity to the work piece; approximately 600 mm from the surface to avoid dusting
and promote good surface coalescence.
• Use of additional solvent mixed into material will assist in achieving a higher decorative finish. Note this will affect build
characteristics.
• Use of a wet film gauge capable of reading up to 5000µm is recommended.
• Ensure mixed material is used within 2 hours at 15°C (sooner at higher temperatures).
• Keep spare 60 mesh gun hand-piece filters to hand and replace filters as required.
• Damaged coatings can be trimmed to a feathered edge and repair material troweled in one application.
• The applied product once cured can be easily finished to a high level by sanding or tooling with power or hand tools.

Cleanup Use Thinner #10 or xylene. Do NOT use water or solvents containing alcohols.

For industrial use only: Read and follow all the caution statements on this Product Data Sheet, the
Safety
product label, and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for health and safety information prior to use.

It is very important for the safety of the applicator and the proper performance of this product that
good ventilation be provided to all portions of the enclosed area. It is equally important to bring into
the enclosed area dry fresh air to remove all solvent vapours. Since solvent vapours are heavier
Ventilation
than air, ventilation ducts should reach to the lowest portions of the enclosed areas as well as into
any structural pockets. Ventilation should be provided throughout the cure period to ensure all the
solvents are removed from the coating.

This product contains flammable solvents. Keep away from sparks and open flames. all electrical
equipment and installations should be made and rounded in accordance with the National Electric
Caution
Code. In areas where explosion hazards exist workers should be required to use non-ferrous tools
and wear conductive and non-sparking shoes.
