How to Use

Prepare the surface thoroughly before application. Ensure it is clean, dry and free from dust, grime, grease and oil. Remove corrosion, loose coatings and other contamination using a stiff brush or an appropriate grade of wet and dry abrasive paper where required.

Shake the aerosol thoroughly for at least 2 minutes before use and continue shaking periodically during application.

Apply sparingly and evenly from approximately 20–25cm away. Typically apply 2–3 coats, or as required to achieve complete and even coverage, allowing approximately 10–15 minutes between coats.

The primer may be sanded and subsequent topcoats can be applied from approximately 30 minutes after application, depending on the number of coats, film thickness, ambient temperature and drying conditions.

After use, invert the aerosol and depress the actuator for a few seconds to help clear the nozzle and prevent blockage.

Technical Details

*Drying and overcoating times depend on film thickness, number of coats, ambient temperature and application conditions. Colder conditions and heavier coats will increase through-drying time.

Important Information

Do not apply to surfaces that are unsound or where compatibility with an existing coating is uncertain without first testing on a small inconspicuous area. Particular care should be taken where an existing coating is believed to be alkyd based.

When applying heavier coats, allow additional through-drying time before sanding or applying subsequent finishes.
