| Application temperature | Can be applied to steel as low as 0c. The steel must be at least 3 degrees above the current dew point. (See our dew point calculator.) |
| Thinning | Use only the Armaguard Thinner supplied, from 5 to 20% max. |
| Application & recoating | Brush or spray. A second coat or topcoat can be applied any time after approx. 5 hours* with no need to abrade between coats. If recoating or top coating once the first coat has fully cured (after approx. 7 days), lightly abrade first with P320 paper.* At 20 degrees centigrade. Longer interval may be required in colder conditions. |
| Spraying & Cleaning | Minimum 1.8mm nozzle or a HB (high build) primer set up. Test atomisation on a test panel first. Viscosity will vary, i.e. thicker in colder temperatures. Data correct at 20c.Conventional Spray (Air) 3-4bar – 44-58psiAirless Spray 18thou tip, 150bar – 2176psi
Clean up with standard thinner or gun wash. Do not thin the paint with standard thinner as this will affect the paint cure. |
