Application Instructions

Waterborne Epoxy Basecoat

Mixing: - Slowly add Component B to Component A in a 1:1 ratio. Stir thoroughly and scrape sides of can to ensure thorough blending. Allow the mixed material to stand 45 minutes at temperatures below 70�F (21�C) before use. Above 70�F (21�C) allow 30 minutes induction time. Always restir before use. Mixed material is usable for six to eight hours; if it thickens, do not add thinner, but discard and mix fresh material. If initial thinning is necessary, use up to one-half pint water per gallon. Do not thin with solvents or solvent thinned coatings. Do not add flow-control materials.

Note: - Surfaces coated with this product may become slippery when wet. For additional slip resistance in areas of pedestrian traffic, add non-skid additive.

Basecoat Application:
May be applied by brush, roller or spray. No thinning required. For airless spray, use a .015'' tip. Adjust pres-sure as needed. Spray is preferred for appearance and build. For roller application, use clean medium nap synthetic roller (new rollers must be free of loose fibers). Brushing is best reserved for small areas of �cutting in�. For maximum gloss development, two coats of this product are recommended. In some cases, one coat may be sufficient depending on the application method, color used and smoothness desired. Do not apply when surface or air temperature is below 50�F (10�C). Brushing and rolling may require multiple coats to achieve correct film thickness and/or hiding.

Basecoat / Chips Application:
After material is thoroughly mixed, Start Painting in the corner furthest away from the exit of the room. Use a brush to cut in along the walls, use a good quality 1/2 inch nap roller to roll material on floor surfaces away from the wall, after painting approximately 6 feet from the starting point you should begin to apply the chips. Note: Multiple colors of chips should be mixed together in a separate container prior to start of application. Chips are applied by tossing them upward toward the ceiling allowing them to float down into the wet basecoat, Continue painting approximately 6 foot wide sections and tossing chips until entire floor is complete. Note: be careful not to drop chips in handfuls directly down onto floor, once chips are placed they cannot be moved.

Drying Time: - Application temperature range is 60�-95�F (16�- 35�C). At 77�F (25�C) and 50% R.H., dries to touch in two hours and to recoat overnight. Full cure in seven days. Dries to light foot traffic on concrete floors in 48 hours. Low temperature, high humidity, thick films or poor ventilation will increase these times. Lack of ventilation and/or the use of portable fuel burning heaters that produce exhaust gases, during application and initial stages of curing, may cause yellowing to occur.

Clean-up: - immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse pumps and hoses with xylene after cleaning.

NOTICE: This product contains solvents. Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage.
