4. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Surface should be prepared by using conventional cleaning methods such as shot blasting, acid etching, disc grinding, sandblasting or mechanical abrasion. The surface to be coated should be free of loose materials, paints, sealants or oils. Use #20 solvent to remove oils and dirt.
- Blend 3 parts A (Resin) to 2 part B (Hardener). Mix with low speed drill until uniform color appears. DO NOT ADD SOLVENTS! GEMCOAT#1163 VO can be mixed in a separate pail or on a piece of cardboard.
- Apply to prepared surface with brush, short nap roller, squeegee or airless sprayer. Maintain temperature of material above 50°F. GEMCOAT #1163 VO can be applied with a trowel, squeegee or putty knife. Do not apply to wet/damp surfaces. Do not apply in humid conditions.
- Allow 24 hours @ 75° F for light foot traffic. Clean tools with #20 solvent for best results. When preparing mortar, mix 3 parts aggregate with GEMCOAT #1163 by volume using slow speed mixing paddle until desired consistency is achieved.
