Application & Use

Coverage

Coverage depends on many factors such as porosity and roughness of the substrate and material losses during application. Using less than recommended material will lead to decreased durability.

Drying times vary based on exposure to sunlight, rain, dew, and temperature. Do not paint if rain is expected within 24 hrs.
