Application steps

APPLICATION

Stir product until a uniform liquid is achieved. Use low speed stirrer (300-400 rpm) to avoid air entrapment.

For Roller application use short piled roller.

For airless application use tip size from 0.38 to 0.53mm and angle from 40° to 60°.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and application tolls with water immediately after use. Hardened and/ or cured material can only be removed mechanically or with proprietary paint stripper.
