- Uses
Stretchkote is an exterior elastomeric paint with high elongation properties for bridging cracks in masonry, concrete, stucco or synthetic substrates. Stretchkote ofers excellent weather resistance.
- Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and free of bonding-inhibiting materials such as dirt, dust, rust, grease, oil, efflorescence, mildew, fungus, form-re- lease agents or any other contaminants. Remove and repair any loose paint, mortar, stucco, concrete or masonry by water blasting, sand blasting, scraping or using a wire brush. Repair all cracks with approved patching compound. If applying over a painted surface, test paint to make sure it is load bearing.
- Coverage
Approximate coverage is 400 sq. ft. per 5 gal pail at 10 mils wet. Dry thickness (coverage will vary depending on substrate, surface texture and application technique.) Two coats may be necessary to achieve the recommended mill thickness.
- Clean Up
Clean tools immediately after use. Remove all debris from the surrounding areas immediately following the application process.
- Mixing
Prior to use, mix until desired consistency is achieved. One quart (16 oz.) of potable water may be added to 5 gallons of Stretchkote.
- Application
Stretchkote may be applied by roller, brush or spray equipment (spray tip should be a 5-19 through a 6-23). Always apply Stretchkote in a continuous application, working to a wet edge to eliminate cold joints.
- Curing
Drying time averages 3 hours depending on ambient temperature, humidity and film thickness. Stretchkote will dry completely within 12 hours.
- Limitations
Stretchkote should be applied when surface and ambient conditions are between 45ºF and 100ºF and should be protected from wet weather for a minimum of 24 hours. Substrate must have a pH of 12 or lower. Stretchkote has excellent bonding to almost any surface except certain plastics, rubber, metal and mastics. Glossy surfaces should be sanded prior to application.
