SURFACE PREPARATION:

All surfaces to be repaired must be clean of dirt, grease and oil. For best results, remove contamination with abrasive blasting and non-flammable cleaner/degreaser, making sure all dust is removed.

MIXING:

For kilogram units, mix entire contents of activator with base. Mix thoroughly with spatula to produce a streak-free mixture. If entire unit is not mixed at one time, measure accurately 4.5 volumes of base to 1 volume of activator and mix thoroughly. Scrape sides and bottom frequently to insure complete mixing.

APPLICATION:

Apply by brush or applicator. Material should be applied 15 mils thick each coat; minimum two (2) coats. Second coat, and subsequent coats, should be applied as soon as possible and certainly within twenty-four (24) hours; otherwise, brush-blasting will be necessary. Material can be heat cured for two (2) hours at 200°F to achieve ultimate properties.

COVERAGE:

One (1) kg. kit will yield approximately 35 cu. in., 12 ft.<= per 15 mils.

PACKAGING:

Available in one (1) kg. units.

SHELF LIFE:

2 years

LIMITATIONS:

Material should be used in 40 to 90°F temperatures and less than 90% humidity.
