Application Use in well ventilated area. Shake can vigorously for one minute before spraying and occasionally while in use. Hold can 8 - 10 inches from surface to be sprayed. Spray at room temperatures between 70ºF - 90ºF (21 - 32ºC). For best results, apply thin even coats – two thin coats are better than one heavy one. Recoat after 2 hours. If nozzle clogs during use, turn spray button ¼ turn or remove and clean button slot.  Do not stick objects into can opening.

 

Clean Up Clean overspray immediately after use with paint thinner. For storage, clear nozzle immediately after use by holding can upside down, spraying 2-3 seconds or until paint no longer sprays out of can.
