Application Instructions

Coating performance is proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Surface must be clean, dry (<6% moisture), undamaged and free of all contaminants prior to coating.
Prepare damaged areas to original surface preparation specifications, feathering edges of any intact coating system.
For optimum application, temperature of the material should be between 10ºC and 20ºC prior to mix and application.
Gradually add total contents of Cure tin into Resin tin and stir thoroughly to a uniform consistency.
Apply by brush, small roller or spray*, without thinning.
Use a cross-lapping method of application ensuring corners and edges are covered and avoid misses. If the surface is highly porous do not attempt to cover with one application. Apply a thin coat, leave for 3 - 4 hours to partially reduce porosity, and then apply a second light and even coat.

Required Treatment

Many modern surfaces, especially when new, have a layer of grease, oil or other contaminants on them. To ensure good adhesion it is important these surfaces are thoroughly cleaned with a water based degreaser and that the degreaser used is then washed away before attempting to apply the coating. Both the contaminants and the degreaser can reduce adhesion so cleanliness must be considered critical.

Stainless Steel: Abrade, sweep blast or high pressure water blast.

Aluminium: Degrease followed by abrading blast or chemical conversion treatment.

Galvanizing: Degrease followed by abrading or chemical conversion treatment.

Concrete: New concrete - Acid etch or abrade to remove laitence. Aged concrete must be thoroughly cleaned.

Aged Coatings: All surfaces must be clean & dry, tightly bonded and free of loose flakes and corrosion products.

Brick/stone: All surfaces must be clean and dry and free of loose material.

Timber etc: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry.

AIRLESS SPRAY:
Warm material before use to 20C
Pass material through a 400 mesh filter.
Ensure substrate is clean and dry
Set air pressure gauge at 15psi
Set Pump pressure at 70psi
Use a 6/11 tip
Thin material with 5% of 900 thinner
Spray two quick passes – one horizontal, 1 vertical..


ALWAYS CLEAN OUT THE UNIT THOROUGHLY WHEN FINISHED SPRAYING

PRESSURE POT:
Warm material before use to 20C
Pass material through a 400 mesh filter.
Ensure substrate is clean and dry
Set Compressor pressure gauge at 1.5 bar
Set Pot Gauge at 1 bar
Use green dial on bottom of spray gun to regulate the volume of air into the gun
The lower dial on the gun controls volume of fluid. Turn in (clockwise) reduces the amount of fluid
The top dial on the gun alters the fan width.
Turn the spray tip for changing from vertical to horizontal spray pattern.

ALWAYS CLEAN OUT THE UNIT THOROUGHLY WHEN FINISHED SPRAYING. LEAVE SMALL AMOUNT OF CLEANER IN THE SPRAY POT.
