Surface Preparation
  • The surface must be free of any oils, moisture, soil or other contaminants that may interfere with good adhesion.
  • Remove any loose material from seams or other surfaces.
  • Oil and grease should also be removed with solvents or an appropriate detergent cleaner.
  • In many cases high-pressure water blast will be sufficient to prepare the surface.
Application Temperatures
  • For best results, the temperature of the ambient air and the substrate should be within a range of 50 - 100°F.
  • For best spray application, the product should be at a minimum of 60°F.
  • Lower temperatures can be utilized for brush applications.
Application Methods
  • RC 2013M can be applied by brush, spray or roller.
  • Best results can be obtained with airless spray equipment.
  • See inland application bulletins for additional information.
