Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Protect
from high humidity, dew and direct moisture contact until fully cured. Application and/or curing in
humidities above maximum, or exposure to moisture from rain or dew may result in a loss of gloss
and/or staining of the product.

These times are based on recommended coverage rates. Curing under low humidity conditions will
extend times. Maximum recoat for this product is 30 days. After this period, it is best to degloss the
surface by abrasive blasting or sanding prior to recoating.
Note: Like many coatings, this coating will develop full adhesion over the initial weeks
following application.

Cleanup & Safety

Cleanup Use Thinner #2 or Acetone. In case of spillage, absorb
and dispose of in accordance with local applicable
regulations.
Safety Read and follow all caution statements on this product
data sheet and on the MSDS for this product. Employ
normal workmanlike safety precautions.
Ventilation When used in enclosed areas, thorough air circulation
must be used during and after application until the
coating is cured. The ventilation system should be
capable of preventing the solvent vapor concentration
from reaching the lower explosion limit for the solvents
used. User should test and monitor exposure levels
to insure all personnel are below guidelines. If not
sure or if not able to monitor levels, use MSHA/NIOSH
approved supplied air respirator.
