- Surface Preparation
Paint only clean, dry surfaces. Remove all grease, oil, wax, or other foreign material using Sea Hawk S-80, S-90, or detergent washing. (SSPC-SPI).
New Construction: Dependent on yard procedures, consult your Sea Hawk Representative.
- Application
Apply by brush, roller or spray. Application by brush or roller my require more than one coat. Where two coats are required, apply second coat as soon as first coat is firm. Maximum recoat time is 18 hours. If 1255 cures beyond the recoat time uniformly abrade surface to a dull golden brown by brush blasting under low pressure, or sanding with 80 grit sandpaper.
- Equipment
- Brush: China Bristle
- Roller: Solvent Resistant Roller Cover 3/8” (10 mm) pile smooth to medium. Prewash Roller Cover to remove loose fibers prior to use.
- Airless Spray: Minimum 45:1 ratio pump, 1–2 GPM; 0.021”-0.031” (0.53-0.78 mm) orifice tip; 3/8” (10 mm) ID high-pressure material hose; 90 PSI line pressure; 60 mesh filter.
- Thinning: Not to exceed 1 quart to 5 gallons using Sea Hawk 2031.
- Cleaning: Clean all equipment immediately after use with Sea Hawk 2031. It is a good practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the day. Frequency should depend upon amount sprayed, temperature, elapsed time including delay, etc.
- Safety: Prior to use, obtain and consult the “Safety Data Sheet” of this product for health and safety information. Read and observe all precautionary notices on container labels.
- Limitations
Apply in good weather when air and surface temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). Surface temperature must be a least 5°F (1°C) above dew point. For optimum application properties, bring material to 70-80°F (21-27°C) temperature range prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage between 40° and 100°F (4-38°C). Prolonged atmospheric exposure of this product may detract from performance.
