Cracked Surfaces
|
Surfaces with fine line cracks, prime surface as required then apply
A500 Insulpaint to a higher film build than normal to allow for
expansion of these cracks .
Depending on the width of the crack, apply A500 Insulpaint
at a DFT of 800 � 1000 microns

Application
Clean Up
|
Stir thoroughly before use.
Brush/roller � apply one or two even coats direct from the container.
For ease of application dilute the Insulpaint with 5% water and stir. (1 litre of water to 20 litres of Insulpaint.)
