SURFACE PREPARATION

• General Cleaning: Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free from dirt, grease, oil, and wax.

• Metal Surfaces: Remove all rust and mill scale by wire brushing or sanding. For best results, degrease the surface with a solvent before priming.

• Wood Surfaces: Sand the surface along the grain to remove loose fibers and splinters. Wipe off all dust before application.

• Previously Painted Surfaces: Remove all loose or peeling paint. For surfaces in good condition, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper to provide a mechanical key for better adhesion.

• Conditioning: Ensure the substrate is completely dry. Moisture trapped under the film can lead to blistering or loss of gloss.
