PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .

DIRECTIONS

ONE STEP PROCESS - Save time on most paint projects

by cleaning and etching all in one step. For heavily soiled

surfaces the Original Krud Kutter should be used as a pre-

prep step, to remove excess oil, grease and dirt. Excess

rust should be removed with a wire brush.

Mix 1 part of concentrate with 3 parts water in a plastic

container. On heavily rusted areas mix with 2 parts water.

Apply the premix to metal surface with paintbrush, spray

bottle, sponge or pump up sprayer. Allow the premix to

remain on the surface for up to 10 minutes, then

thoroughly rinse with water, and wipe dry with rags. Make

sure the metal is completely clean and dry, then paint

treated surface within 48 hours, to prevent formation of

new rust.

CAUTION: SEVERE EYE AND SKIN IRRITANT.

Contains phosphoric acid. In case of contact with eyes or

skin, flush with water for at least 15 minutes. In case of

contact with eyes or skin, flush with water for 15 minutes.

If irritation persists, seek medical attention. If swallowed,

take large amounts of water. Do not induce vomiting.

Get medical attention.
