Preparation
NOTE:
The success of any paint job depends on the preparation
of the surface being painted.
(1)
Remove
any
water-soluble
residues and contaminants (mud,
salt, etc.) using a mild detergent followed by a thorough rinsing
with clean fresh water.
(2)
Remove any water insoluble residues and contaminants (oil,
grease, etc.) by solvent cleaning.
F
Priming if using an Epoxy based primer
Before applying the primer, carefully mix the proper catalyst with the
primer base per the instructions on the paint containers. Priming must
be done immediately following the exposure of bare metal in order to
prevent additional corrosion. Application may be by brush or spray.
Leave the primer to dry at least overnight (12 hours) and no longer than
one week before application of the topcoat.
G
Finish Coat if using an epoxy based finish coat
Before applying the finish coat, carefully mix the proper catalyst with the
finish coat base per the instructions on the paint containers. The final
application of the finish coat may be applied with a brush, a paint
sprayer, or a roller. Twist, Inc. recommends the topcoat be sprayer
applied.
CAUTION: AFTER THE PRIMER OR FINISH COAT IS MIXED, THE
POT LIFE OF THE MIXED PAINT WILL BE LIMITED.
CHECK THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PAINT
CONTAINERS TO DETERMINE THE POT LIFE FOR
THE PAINT YOU ARE USING.
