RUST-OLEUM® FLEXIDIP™ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PAGE 2
APPLICATION
Q. HOW MANY COATS OF FLEXIDIP™ SHOULD BE APPLIED?
A. It is recommended to use 4-5 even coats. The first coat must be applied light to build a
solid base of product. Coat the area lightly with 50% coverage on the first coat. Wait 5 to 10
minutes between coats. If you are coating wheel rims, by the time you finish the last wheel rim,
you should be ready to add the next coat to your first wheel rim. The more coats applied, the
thicker the coating, the easier it will be able to remove.
Q. CAN FLEXIDIP™ BE TOP COATED?
A. No, top coating will cause the surface to wrinkle and will make removal difficult.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Q. CAN EITHER OF THESE PRODUCTS BE PUT ON ITEMS THAT GO IN A DISHWASHER?
A. Due to potential high heats generated from the dishwasher, FlexiDip™ coated items are not
recommended for dishwasher use. All household items should be hand washed. We
recommend the product to cure 24 hours prior to washing.
Q. CAN FLEXIDIP™ GO THROUGH A CAR WASH WHEN USED ON A CAR EXTERIOR?
A. FlexiDip™ not only holds up great in automated car washes, it also withstands elements-
snow, rain, sleet and more. We recommend allowing the product to cure 24 hours prior to
washing.
REMOVAL
Q. HOW DO I REMOVE FLEXIDIP™?
A. Begin at one edge and slowly rub the coating until it begins to peel. Slowly pull the film.
You should expect the coating to come off in large pieces. For more intricate surfaces or for
faster removal, a solvent, such as Naptha may also be used.
Q. WHEN SHOULD I REMOVE THE FLEXIDIP™?
A. If you want to remove FlexiDip and will be using it on objects used outside and exposed to
UV rays, remove it within 3 months of application. For items coated that will be used indoors,
there is no timetable on when it is easiest to remove the coating.
