APPLICATION
Apply only when air and surface temperatures are between

recommended for water immersion.
Mix thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-dispersed
before using. Thin material, only if necessary, with acetone.
For brush or roller, thinning is not normally required. For air
spray, thin up to 1-½ to 2 pints per gallon. Do not thin with
gasoline, lacquer thinner, turpentine, etc. For airless spray,
thinning is not normally required. Apply with a good quality
brush, roller or spray gun.
Brush: Use light, even strokes Excessive brushing reduces
film thickness and protection.
Roller: The rougher the surface, the longer the roller nap
should be. Cover approximately one square yard at a time.
