Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, work in temperatures between 8°C and 25°C. For bare or rusty metal, two coats are required, while one coat may suffice for sound, previously painted surfaces.
- Surface Prep: Abrade smooth surfaces and remove loose rust with a wire brush. Clean with diluted detergent and rinse, allowing the surface to dry completely.
- Application: Stir gently before use—do not mix vigorously. Apply using a brush or roller, being careful not to over-apply, as this can cause sagging.
- Compatibility: While it works on most iron surfaces, bare zinc, aluminum, or galvanized metals require a specific Hammerite special metals primer first.
- Tool Care: Clean brushes immediately after use using Hammerite Brush Cleaner & Thinners. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
