Brush/Roll: Reduce 5-10% with T0031. Below 75°F you may use COLD CURE^{^TM} Accelerator M3066 to maintain dry and cure times.
Induction Time after Mixing: 15 Minutes
Anticipated Pot Life at 77°F/50% R.H: 16 Hours

Application Instructions

Brush or Roller Application:
Apply 2 coats at 3-4 mils WFT yielding 1.0-1.5 DFT per coat. Allow 12-14 hours between coats. Light sanding between coats will improve appearance. For large surfaces rolling, then tipping with a brush is preferred.

Do not apply paint materials to surfaces warmer than 105°F or colder than 55°F. Do not attempt to cure products at temperatures below 55°F.
