How to Use

SURFACE PREPARATION

Carefully clean up with a wet mop or HEPA vacuum. Remove all oil, grease, dirt, loose or scaling paint, rust, mil scale and other foreign matter.

FERROUS METAL

Industrial structures, tank exteriors, structural steel, etc., should be “commercial” blast cleaned (SSPC-SP6) or power tool cleaned (SSPC-SP3) as an alternative.

GALVANIZED METAL, ALUMINUM

Surface oil should be wiped off with mineral spirits and a clean rag.

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES

Prepare ruptured or scratched surfaces as for unfinished metal.  Spot prime bare ferrous metal as conditions dictate.
