PRIMING
 Plasti Dip Primer increases adhesion by about
400% and is recommended for smooth surfaces
such as plastics, metals, and stainless steel
when a permanent application is desired. Note:
Plasti Dip Primer is a permanent coating and is
not peelable.
IS PRIMING NECESSARY?
 Most items being dip-coated do not require
priming because the coating is shrinking around
the item as it dries. However, in extreme
conditions or when adding protective coating to a
large metal surface, Plasti Dip Primer is
recommended.
SURFACE PREPARATION
 Clean the surface with a mild soap and water to
remove any dirt, debris, oils, waxes, or grease. If
loose rust is present, lightly sand to remove the
rust. Let the application surface dry completely
as Plasti Dip will not adhere to a wet or damp
surface.
APPLICATION
HOW TO SPRAY
(11 oz. aerosol)
1. Surface must be clean and dry. For best
results, avoid direct sunlight, high humidity or
breezy conditions.
2. Shake can vigorously for one full minute after
mixing ball begins to rattle. Shake often while
applying.
3. Hold can 6-10” from surface, moving can back
and forth, slightly overlapping each stroke.
Apply heavily enough to produce an even, wet
appearance.
4. Allow 30 minutes minimum between coats.
Apply as many coats as desired (4-5 average).
5. Allow 4 hours minimum dry time before
use. Coverage: Approximately 5-10 sq. ft. per
can.
SPRAYING TIPS
Always protect surrounding areas from overspray.
Allow 4 hours per coat for complete dry. If runs or
sags are experienced, move can further away
from surface. To avoid clogged nozzle, turn can
upside down and spray for 5 seconds. If clogged,
remove nozzle and soak in naphtha or mineral
spirits for 30 minutes. Do not stick pin or other
objects into stem. Use naphtha, xylene (xylol), or
toluene (toluol) for cleanup. When applied properly
Plasti Dip can be removed from most surfaces, if
desired.
REMOVAL
 We recommend applying at least 5 coats for
ease of peeling / removing when ready to do so.
Applying less than 5 coats may cause the
product to peel off in little pieces and be very
tedious to remove.
