Method of Use

Surface Preparation

All contaminants including mould release, grease and dirt must be removed.  Mask areas that do not require spraying.

Mixing

Shake vigorously for a minimum of 2 minutes to evenly distribute contents.  Spray a small area to check compatibility with substrate.

Application

Operate in an upright position, spraying in light, even strokes from side to side to avoid flooding.  Shake briefly at intervals during spraying.  On completion invert the aerosol and spray to clear valve and nozzle.   It is advised to clear any excess material from the nozzle at frequent intervals to prevent blockage.  If the nozzle blocks, use a pin to clear the opening or remove the nozzle and flush with toluene, xylene or MEK.  It is advised to coat several thinner coats rather than try to coat heavily in one pass.

Precautions

Pressurised container.  Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperature exceeding 50⁰C.  Do not pierce or burn, even after use.  Do not spray on an open flame or any incandescent material.  Keep away from sources of ignition - no smoking.

Use under well ventilated conditions.  Contains inorganic fillers/xylene mix/toluene.  Harmful by inhalation.  Do not breathe vapour.  In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment which must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.  For excessive vapour inhalation remove to fresh air and summon medical attention.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  In case of skin contact wash with soap and water, dry and apply work cream.  Eye contact, flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.  If accidentally swallowed summon medical attention.
