Application
 
  1. Spraying:  reduce with distilled water to 20-25 seconds Zahn #2.
  2. Brushing or rolling:  reduce with distilled water to 30-38 seconds Zahn #2.
  3. Stir contents before use:  Never shake or stir under high agitation.
  4. Shelf life:  1 year.
  5. Apply with standard equipment - pressure or suction feed, air assisted airless, HVLP, LVLP or electrostatic.  Atomization pressure depends on viscosity.
Clean-Up With Water
  If the paint dries, solvents may have to be used for clean up. If the spray equipment is not
stainless steel, the equipment may have to be taken apart and air-dried.
 
Weatherometer
