SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE
-
Surface preparation:
Can be applied to any metal surface, even with existing rust but flaking
paint and/or loose rust needs to be removed to ensure maximum
penetration. Product works best on matte surfaces. If used on polished
or smooth surfaces, a light scouring is recommended to ensure better
adhesion. Clean surface with soap and water to remove grease, oil, dirt
and etc. Rinse and allow to dry thoroughly. Mask or cover adjacent areas
to protect from overspray.
-
Operating Temperatures:
Ideal application temperature is between 15°C to 50°C (59°F to
122°F).
-
Application:
Apply using a standard paintbrush, enamel roller or spray gun. Apply
successive, thin coats allowing each layer to dry between coats.
Applying Rx100™ too thick will cause a wrinkled finish. Apply subsequent
coats once touch dry (Approx 4 hours). Avoid drips, runs and a wrinkled
finish by applying successive very thin coats. (see thinning
recommendations below)
-
Drying (or
curing) Time:
Allow 4 hours between coats or until touch dry. Cure for 48 hours.
These times are typical for temperatures between 15°C to 30°C (59°F to
86°F) at 50% humidity. Colder temperatures and higher humidity will
result in longer drying and curing times.
-
Coverage:
Due to the fact that the first coat penetrates deep into the
metallic substrate and existing rust, more product is used, coverage for
subsequent layers will increase considerably. First coat coverage will
be about 8m2 to 10m2 per liter. Subsequent coats will require less product, between 10m2
and 14m2 per liter.
-
Recoating: If surfaces need recoating, clean down as above for general
surface preparation and then apply subsequent coats.
-
Helpful Tips: It is extremely important to apply successive very
thin coats, rather than one thick coat, to avoid wrinkling. A thin coat
will cure quicker and will result in a stronger layer i.e. more product
does not mean more protection.
-
Tools to
Use:
Standard paintbrush, enamel roller or spray gun.
-
Clean Up: Use mineral
spirits to clean tools. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after
use.
-
Storage: Store container in cool, well-ventilated area out of direct
sunlight. Store above -15°C (5°F).
