APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Stir product mechanically until a uniform liquid has
been achieved.
Use a low speed electrical stirrer (300-400 rpm) to
avoid air entrapment.
For roller application use short piled roller. For airless
application use tip sizes from 0.38 to 0.53mm/ angle
40° to 60°.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean all tools with water immediately after use.
Hardened and/or cured material can only be removed
mechanically
NOTES ON LIMITATIONS
Each type of roller will give a slightly different surface
finish – always use same roller type in same areas
Ensure entire surface is fully dried before over coating
Crazing may occur when over coating un-dried areas
Always ensure good ventilation when application takes
place in a confined space to ensure drying
The incorrect treatment of cracks may lead to a
reduced service life and reflective cracking
Do not apply near foodstuffs in unventilated
conditions, always ensure ventilation
Acoustic insulation boards may lose some acoustic
absorption properties
