Application
Surface Preparation
Surface must be free of oils, grease, loose particles, dirt, mould, moss or other foreign matter. Murobond advises application by a recommended contractor.
Application
Stir product thoroughly before application. Porous surfaces: thinning should be minimized = 5% or less clean water.
Non-porous surfaces: thinning should be avoided.
Second or subsequent coats: thinning should be avoided.
Brush
Apply even full thick coats working quickly to maintain a wet edge across each surface.
Spray
Airless spray is recommended with care to fully mask surrounding surfaces against overspray. Allow overnight drying between coats.
Clean-up
Water
Precautions
Mineral Silicate Matt Clear will react and chemically combine with mineral surfaces including glass. Mask these surfaces thoroughly and clean up spills, spatter, and overspray immediately.
