PREP
Q. WHAT PREP WORK GOES INTO USING FLEXIDIP™?
A. Mask off around the area to be coated. For wheel rims, the use of index cards works great
in between the tire and the rim to avoid overspray. Although the product has the unique feature
of removability, light overspray may prove to be difficult to remove especially from rubber tires.
Q. WHEN SHOULD THE MASKING TAPE BE REMOVED?
A. In order to produce nice, clean lines of the FlexiDip™ coating, it is recommended to remove
the masking tape when the last coat is still wet. If for some reason, the product dries before the
removing of the tape, light spray the edge of where the tape and coating meet and quickly
remove. The coating typically begins to dry 5-10 minutes in between coats.
