Surface Preparation:
New Steel - Surface must be dry and free of contamination. Remove all weld spatter and grind all rough welds and edges to smooth contour. For severe exposure (immersion, chemical, etc) near white blast clean per SSPC SP 10-63T. For other exposure blast clean per SSPC SP 6-63 to a maximum profile of 1.5 mils. Previously Painted Surfaces - Must be free of oil, grease or other contamination. For best results, spot blast exposed areas to be primed. Power tool brushing may be used for minor touch up.
Spray/Brush/Roll:
Surface shall be dry, above 60° F and 5° above dew point, and free of rust bloom. Spray apply using airless spray or air assisted airless spray. For air atomized spray, fluid tips of .070" and air caps delivering 9-10 CFM at 30 PSI are acceptable. A 3/8" to 1/2" material hose is recommended. Plural component is recommended. Materials should be kept under constant slow speed agitation during use. Double lap all welds, seams, corners, and edges in insure proper thickness. Make even parallel passes with 50% overlap to provide uniformity.
