General Application Guidelines

Preparation: Power-wash surface with a water pressure washer up to 3000 psi. Insure that the surface is clean and free of dirt, grease, oil and debris. Remove all mold and algae. Remove all loose coatings. Replace worn or rusted fasteners.
Priming: Some substrates may require priming of the surface with Primer-kote prior to coating. Contact factory for product specification sheet and more information.
Application: Mix product thoroughly before using. Do not thin. Product warranty is voided if product is altered in any way. Keep lid tightly sealed after opening to prevent skin formation, stir again before each use. If skin forms, remove completely prior to mixing. Apply 20 wet mils to surface. Embed Tuffglass Fabric into Metal1-patch. Apply a final topcoat of 20 mils of Metal1-patch. (Metal1-patch should be coated with a finish coat for maximum durability and protection.) Temperature range for application: 40 to 100° F for air, surface and material with a maximum humidity of 85%. Keep material at 72 to 100° F for best spread rate.
Drying time: Initial skin forms in one to two hours; final cure in 30 days in good drying conditions (72° F and 50% humidity). Final dry time will vary based on ambient temperature, weather conditions, relative humidity, application thickness, air movement and precipitation. Avoid all foot traffic until fully cured. Suitable for occasional/maintenance foot traffic only. Do not use on decks or high traffic areas.
Clean-up: Clean tools with mineral spirits. Dispose of containers properly.
