Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure the ambient temperature is between 15C and 25C. Avoid spraying in direct sunlight or high humidity. Before starting, shake the canister for two minutes and continue shaking periodically during use. When finished, you must invert the can and spray for 2-5 seconds to clear the nozzle; this prevents the fast-acting formula from drying inside the tip and causing a permanent blockage. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from heat sources. Always use in a well-ventilated area or outdoors to manage aerosol fumes.
