APPLICATION GUIDE
*Preparation of the surface is critical for maximum adhesion and performance of this product.
*For best results the product should be applied immediately after surface preparation. Review the Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to using this product. This product should only be used in a well-ventilated area, using proper personal protective equipment (PPE).
*This product is not intended to be applied over any other products.
1. Prepare the surface by removing oil and other contaminants by thoroughly cleaning with Blue Dawn® dish soap and HOT water, using a non-abrasive microfiber type cloth to avoid scratching the surface. High-polished surfaces scratch easily and should be hand-washed with great care.
2. Dry the entire surface area using clean compressed air or a chamois while ensuring no water spots are left behind.
3. Allow the surface to completely air dry in a clean area so no dirt falls on the prepared surface.
4. If the application is with a microfiber rag, the MC-5100 Clear is ready to go and should not be thinned. Gently shake the container and apply to the prepared surface with a circular motion making sure all areas are evenly covered. Areas that were missed can be coated a second time after 24 hours. Wear gloves and apply with lots of ventilation, this stuff IS STRONG! Clean up with acetone.
5. If the application is with a spray gun, the MC-5100 Clear is ready to spray and should not be thinned. Gently shake the container and pour through a 325 mesh filter into a high-quality HVLP spray gun with a 0.8 mm tip, such as an IWATA LPH-80. Set air pressure at 30 PSI.
6. A single wet coat is recommended for a 0.50 to 0.75 mil dry film thickness. For best results, work from the most difficult area to the easiest. The use of a mil gauge can aid in ensuring proper coating thickness. If you encounter any surface defects during application, rinse immediately with acetone.
7. Allow parts to air dry. Parts will be tack-free after approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Until this point, the coating is still wet and should not be touched. Parts will be fully cured within 24 hours.
8. Clean equipment with acetone.
