No. This product is not intended for use on surfaces that come into direct contact with food.
It is rated for temperatures up to 800°C.
For best results, follow the preparation instructions on the label; ensure the metal is clean and properly abraded for the best adhesion.
You must use the paint in a well-ventilated area to allow fumes to escape. Ensure the area remains ventilated until the paint is fully cured.
Follow the specific curing guidance on the product label, which generally involves a gradual increase in heat to harden the silicone resins.
This often indicates moisture or contaminants were trapped under the paint. Strip the area, clean thoroughly with a degreaser, and ensure the surface is bone-dry before repainting.
The surface was likely not prepared properly. Ensure all loose rust and oil are removed and the metal is scuffed to provide a 'tooth' for the paint to grip.
Avoid over-brushing or over-spraying. Apply multiple light coats with sufficient drying time between layers rather than one heavy coat.
To ensure maximum effectiveness, the metal surface must be completely clean, dry, and free of rust, grease, or old peeling paint. Use a wire brush or sandpaper to roughen the surface slightly, which improves mechanical bonding. Once applied, allow the paint to air dry according to the label instructions before initiating the curing process. Curing usually requires a gradual increase in temperature, allowing the heat-resistant silicone resin to harden properly. Always work in a well-ventilated area to dissipate fumes and wear appropriate protective gear.
