Instructions / Assembly

DO’S AND DON’T’S
1 Do not over-spray the surface of the object with base coat or top coat. The runs
created will cause an irregular surface topography, and will be visible on the finished
piece.
2 Do not touch the surface of the object in ANY STAGES of the entire process, as finger
prints and scratches will be visible in the final finish.
3 Do not tilt the PreVal sprayer more than 45 degrees during spraying, as this can cause
the sprayer to pull air into the tube, and creates irregular spray patterns.
4 Mix enough material for the job at hand to avoid waste
5 While spraying the chroming solution, rinse occasionally in between sprays to inspect
how the chrome looks, and determine if additional chroming is needed.
6 Once opened, store your A&B chemicals, and your Activator (C) in a cool dry place.
7 It is recommended that you base coat all the items to be chromed at once, as the
PreVal sprayer provided is only for one-time use. Additional material can be ordered as
needed.
DISPOSAL OF WASTE MATERIAL
Disposal of the waste material used for this process will vary from city to city. You should
provide the MSDS papers (that came with your materials) to your appropriate city officials,
and they can advise you how they want this material disposed of.
IT IS THE END USERS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THESE MATERIALS ARE
DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
As in any finishing process, problems are sometimes encountered with respect to the
appearance of the finished product. It is therefore important to know where to look in order to
correct any problems that occur.
An effective first step in determining which step of the process is causing the problem is to
apply the ChromeFX chemicals (Activator, rinse…and then A and B solution as normal) to a
clean piece of glass, which has NOT BEEN BASE COATED. If the glass is metallized without
any problems, you can then narrow the problem down to the Basecoat or Topcoat or the
water purity.
Please remember that when trying to isolate the problem, the source could lie either with the
chemicals, the water, OR the technique.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
PROBLEM: The ChromeFX deposit comes out yellow, or tarnished.
CAUSE / SOLUTION:
The single most common cause of this is the water purity. Check your water, and replace the
water if needed. MUST BE 000.PPM.
