Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Product Application
- Stir thoroughly before use.
- Tuff Coat may be applied by Tuff Coat roller or spray.
- Applying excessively heavy films will lead to insufficient through-drying and mud cracking of the paint and will yield soft paint films.
- Do not apply Tuff Coat on extremely humid days 75% RH or when rain is threatening.
- Do not apply in the late afternoon when working outdoors as the wet film may be adversely affected by dew.
- When working in cooler temperatures be sure the air and surface temperatures will remain at or above 45°F for at least 8 hours after application and the surface temperature will remain 5°F above the dew point during the application.
- Surface Preparation
- Coating performance, in general, is proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
- Follow recommendations carefully, avoiding shortcuts.
- Inadequate preparation of surfaces will virtually assure inadequate coating performance.
- Surface must be free of dirt, loose paint, rust, oil, grease, wax, soap and any other foreign matter.
- Prep painted areas well.
- Remove existing mildew with household bleach instead of ammonia.
- Product Application - Metals
- Sand surface with 80 grit sandpaper, then solvent clean with thinner to remove residue.
- Apply a coat of Tuff Coat UT-95 Metal Primer following overcoat instructions, apply 2 coats of Tuff Coat.
- Mixing
- Due to the high solid’s nature of this product, there will be significant settling that occurs in the can or pail.
- Stir or shake contents thoroughly to remix any settled material.
- While applying the product, make sure to mix the product remaining in the can or pail often to ensure proper suspension of the non-skid additive into the paint film.
