Application Procedure:
The mixture ready for use, can be applied by brush, roller or spray. Surface to be painted must be free of dirt and other contaminants. In the remaking of old woods, it is imperative to remove traces of wax, dirt and other oily matter to ensure a perfect adhesion of paint. Apply 1 – 2 coats of Acrylic Primer #100, Plastofil #350 or PU Primer #153 as a basecoat.
Precautions:
Mixing ratio should be correctly observed.
Paint should be used within the pot life after components have been mixed together.
Pot life decreases at high temperature.
Bubbling due to excessive coatings within relatively short time is likely to occur in summer 1 – 2 thin initial coat and longer recoating interval (50 – 60 min.) eliminates bubbling.
Never leave drums of Catalyst open.
