APPLICATION |
|
Always use Thistlebond CLEAN AID to wipe re-blasted
surfaces before applying Advanced Polymer Thistlebond PRODUCTS.
This will also be the case if you have to RE-PREPARE a previously
coated surface that has cured. |
| When applying TWO coats, the second
coat is applied when the first coat is TACKY to the touch.
If the first coat has cured then BRUSH BLAST and use CLEAN
AID as above.
Gloves should be worn in all applications to avoid product
on hands as well as to preventive grease from unprotected
hands getting in contact with the coating material.
Every effort should be made to apply the first coat within
1 hour (as soon as possible) after wiping with CLEAN AID
- this to prevent flash rusting on metal equipment. |
|
| EXCEPTION to second coat onto WET surface is
Thistlebond ELASTIC MEMBRANE. The SECOND and any subsequent coats
are applied onto a DRY surface.
Care should be taken when planning the application to ensure
that timing is relevant to your working conditions as well
as POT LIFE of the product being used.
