Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove any loose debris, rust, or old coatings. Ensure the surface is dry before application. For optimal results, lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
Application: Shake the can well for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Hold the can 8-10 inches from the surface and apply even coats, overlapping slightly. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
Drying Time: Allow 20-30 minutes for the coating to become touch dry. Recoat within 15-30 minutes, or allow 24 hours for a full topcoat.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on metal, aluminum, galvanized metal, PVC, concrete, masonry, asphalt/bituminous roofing materials, vinyl siding, and fiberglass. Not recommended for use on surfaces continuously submerged in water.
Care: Clean tools immediately after use with a solvent suitable for the product. Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
