Be
sure to read and follow all application procedures in order to
ensure the absolute best finish possible. If application equipment
is recommended, follow all recommendations. Our testing procedures
are extensive and you can rely on these to get the best results.
-
Appropriate
surface preparation is the single most important thing you can do to
get the best results. Dirt, dust and/or grease can cause problems
from start to finish and in some cases affect drying and curing
times.
-
Remember
that the weather can play a big role in the results you get. High
temperatures and humidity can affect curing and drying times as much
as low temperatures and in many different ways. Whenever possible,
make sure that the ambient temperature in the area where you will be
working is within specified ranges. Likewise, monitor moisture
levels to and adjust drying or curing times accordingly.
-
Be
sure to test coatings on sample materials prior to application to
large areas. Take notes and try different techniques until you are
satisfied with the results. Then scale your application procedure up
to the actual work space. You may find that one method works better
for your specific application than another.
-
Many
coatings are Flammable! Keep away from all sources of ignition
during storage, mixing, application and cure.
-
Some
products can burn your skin. Protect yourself with standard approved
protective gear.
-
When
spraying, the use of goggles, fresh air masks, or NIOSH approved
respirators, protective skin cream and protective clothing is
recommended as a standard practice.
