.PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.) .
MIXING
Both the base and activator components are highly pigmented.
Mix each component thoroughly to ensure any settled
pigment is re-dispersed before combining the components
together. Combine at a 1:1 ratio by volume in a container
large enough to hold the total volume. Mix thoroughly for 2-3
minutes. Power mixing is preferred. Do not mix more material
than you plan to use within the listed pot life.
APPLICATION
Airless spray is the preferred method of application. However,
brush, roller, or air-atomized spray may also be used. Refer to
table for thinning recommendations. For proper performance,
a dry film thickness of 5-8 mils (7-11 mils WFT) per coat is
required. Excessive brushing or rolling may reduce film
thickness. Apply a second coat if necessary to achieve the
recommended film thickness.
Apply only when air and surface temperatures between 60-
100°F (15-38°C) and when the surface temperature is at least
5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Use in areas with adequate
ventilation. The relative humidity should not be greater than 85%.
Extremely high or low relative humidity can affect dry times and
the final gloss of the coating. Low curing temperatures and/or
condensation on the film while curing can affect appearance in
the form of an amine blush. This can generally be removed with
soap and water. In a case of extreme blushing, the performance
of the coating may be slightly affected.
NOTE: If curing time exceeds 30 days, the surface must be
scarified by sanding, or other method, prior to application of an
additional coat or other finish coating.
Note: Early chalking may occur if the pH of the water is outside
the range of 7.2-7.6 and/or the water temperature exceeds
100°F (38°C). Early contact with water can cause premature
fading, chalking and blistering. Super chlorinated water can
cause a bleached-out appearance. Sunlight and UV will cause
chalking and fading.
EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS .
BRUSH: Use a good quality natural or synthetic bristle brush.
ROLLER: Use a good quality lamb’s wool or synthetic fiber
(3/8-1/2"nap).

CLEAN-UP
When finished, wash tools and equipment with 160 Thinner or
xylene. Clean up drips or spatters immediately with 160
Thinner or xylene as dried paint is very difficult to remove.
Properly dispose of all soiled rags.
