Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and sound; contaminants such as dirt, dust, grease, wax, oils, soap film, mold & mildew, bond breakers, curing compounds, and loose, peeling paint must be removed before priming or painting. Sand surfaces to remove / scrape away as much existing rust as possible. Remove all mildew by scrubbing with a solution of 16 oz bleach to one gallon water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry 24 hours before painting. Repair holes & cracks with appropriate patching material.
- Application
For exterior use only.
- Protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear should be used during application of this product.
- Always apply on a clear, warm sunny day. Apply in morning hours to allow maximum cure time.
- Application should be completed a minimum of 4 hours prior to sunset. Temperatures must be above 55 °F (for 24 hours) and rising, but not above 110 °F.
- Apply with brush, 3/4” nap exterior paint roller or professional airless sprayer. First, apply a smooth and continuous coat over all areas containing rust, extending primer a minimum of 2” past rust in all directions.
- Dries for recoat in 4 hours and fully cures in 24 - 36 hours at 70 °F & 50% relative humidity.
- Higher humidity, thicker films, poor air flow and lower temperatures will increase dry times. Coverage rate is 1/2 to 1 gallon per square, depending on substrate. Do not Heat or thin.
- Consistency : Brush, spray or roller
Spray Info : 2000 PSI, .017 - .030 Tip Size, 1-3 GPM.
Clean-up : Clean tools with soap and water.
