PRECAUTIONS & LIMITATIONS
Do not apply to surfaces if moisture content is greater than
22% as measured with an electronic moisture meter. Do not
apply materials in climates where freezing temperatures have
existed prior to application. Allow adequate time for surfaces
to thaw. Establish that air, surface, and material temperatures
are above 35°F (2°C) and at least 5°F above the dew point prior
to painting. Do not apply at temperatures below 35°F or when
temperatures are expected to drop below 35°F within 48 hours
of application. Do not apply if rain, snow, or lower
temperatures are expected within 48 hours. Do not apply if
relative humidity is greater than 80%.
Use material in a well-ventilated area. Protect the work of
other trades. Protect shrubbery and other plants with drop
cloths. Pro-tect automobiles and all other areas not to be coated
from over-spray. Remove overspray from any windows,
automobiles, metal, etc. as soon as possible should it occur.
To prevent permanent staining, clean spills or leaks in a timely
manner.
Store materials in a well-protected area between 45° and 90°
F. Avoid freezing temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture.
Keep away from heat sources.
TEST PANEL
Always apply material to a mock wall or test panel. Test wall or
actual surface area to determine acceptable color, surface
po-rosity, application rates, and methods before starting
general application.
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS
1. BLOK-LOK wi
th Graffiti Control should be applied using low-
pressure airless spray equipment.
2. Avoid atomizing material by using a spray tip size of .035
to .051. Spray head should be held 8 to 12 inches from the
surface so that the flood coat runs down the wall approxi-
mately 6-12 inches below the point of application.
3. Avoid application in windy weather.
4. Trigger gun off at the end of each pass to avoid using exces-
sive materials. Stop all applications only at corners, joints,
seams, or edges.
5. Apply second coat wet on wet after first coat has been al-
lowed to penetrate for 5 minutes. Immediately roll or brush
out runs and drips to ensure even appearance.
