Do not apply when the surface temperature is less than 5°F (3°C)
above the dew point.
Excessive humidity or condensation on surface during curing may
result in a surface haze, or blush, which must be washed off with
water before recoating.
Special thinning and application techniques may be required
above or below normal condition.

Note 2 If exposed to sunlight for more than 36 hours,
wipe with special solvent as recommended
before top coating

Note 3 Force curing is suggested for all tank linings.

Thorough air circulation must be used during
and after application until the coating is
cured. The ventilation system should be
capable of preventing the solvent vapor
concentration from reaching the lower
explosion limit for the solvents used. In
addition to proper ventilation, fresh air
respirators or fresh air hoods must be used.
Hypersensitive persons should wear clean
protective clothing, gloves and/or protective
cream on face, hands and all exposed areas.
