2. APPLICATION

AEROSOL:

BEFORE SPRAYING

• Shake can vigorously for 1 minute to ensure colour uniformity. Shake can occasionally during use.
• Remove the cap carefully. Avoid using sharp objects that may puncture the can.
• Test spray on a small inconspicuous area to ensure surface compatibility and finish suitability.

SPRAYING

• Select the nozzle setting: The To change the nozzle setting, turn the red section on the nozzle.
• Hold the can upright approximately 25cm from the surface.
• Press button firmly and spray several light coats with a smooth sweeping motion, overlapping each spray pass. To prevent paint from sagging, avoid spraying too close to the surface or applying a heavy coat.
• Repeat if necessary.

BRUSH ON:

• Stir thoroughly with a broad flat stirrer in a circular lifting motion for at least 5 minutes before use and continue to stir at regular intervals during application.
• Apply 2 coats by brush.

Do not use when air or surface temperature is below 15°C or above 30°C or in excessive humidity.

3. COVERAGE

• AEROSOL: Approximately 1.5m² per can, depending on the nature of the surface and amount of overspray.
• BRUSH ON: Approximately 16m² per litre, depending on the nature of the surface.

4. DRYING

• AEROSOL: Touch dry in 1 hour. Re-coat after 16 hours.
• BRUSH ON:  Touch dry in 1 hour. Re-coat after 16 hours.
• Drying will be slower in cold or humid conditions, in the absence of ventilation or where heavy film builds are applied. 

5. DRY CURE

• Hard dry conditions are achieved when the coated article is gradually heated from cold to operating temperature.
• Some odour may be evident during curing. It is suggested practice to re-coat the article after the winter period. This will allow the full curing to take place prior to the next winter without any heat application.

6. CLEAN UP

• AEROSOL: Overspray can be removed while still wet with mineral turps.
• To clean the nozzle after use and prevent blocking turn the can upside down and press button until only gas escapes.
• BRUSH ON: Clean brushes and equipment with White Knight Rust Guard® Solvent or mineral turps.
