Mixing/Application Procedure

Mixing

Mix Pails or Drums thoroughly before use to ensure uniform consistency
Reducer

• Deionized or distilled water for general viscosity reduction
• Use IM-078 Aqua Retarder to reduce viscosity and slow dry time

Application

• Spray application conventional equipment, airless, air assisted or HVLP equipment.
• Apply approximately 3-4 wet mils for 1-2 mil dry film thickness.
• Recommended tip sizes = Airless: .013-.015 Tip 1500-2000 lbs, AA: .013-.015 Tip 600 psi Fluid/20-25 psi air, HVLP: 1.8-2.0 Tip.

Surface Preparation

• Wood must be clean, dry and finish sanded. Substrates should be free of grease, oil, dirt, fingerprints and any contamination to ensure optimum adhesion and coating performance properties. Moisture content of wood should be 6 to 8 %.
• Sand first coat in order to eliminate grain raising and to improve the adhesion of the subsequent coat. 150 grit on open grain and 180 grit on closed grain wood.
• Always sand the sealer-coat within 8 hours prior to top-coating to improve adhesion.

Use Directions

Ready to Spray out of Bucket. Apply one to two coats of primer. Sand with 320 grit.
Drying Times

Air Dry (65-75°F)	20-25 minutes dry to sand
Forced Dry (100 - 120°F)	5-10 minutes dry to sand

Stack only when the surface temperature is below 95F. Stack times must be tested by customer
Tinting: Tint with 896 or Novocolor IP colorants up to 6 % by weight.
Clean Up: Soap and water for general clean up. Equipment should be flushed with water, then may be rinsed with SS-020 Acetone or SS-032 Glycol Ether EB (Butyl Cellosolve) to remove residual.
Recommended Topcoat

• Ceramic product lines tested and approved as topcoats are : Aquatop waterbase enamels; Strong
• Conversion Varnish and Envirotop Precats
