How To Apply Powder
-
Step 1
Clean the substrate with denatured alcohol so it's free of any dirt and oil. Weigh and mix denatured alcohol to the desired amount of powder to create a solution in a separate container.
Suggested powder to alcohol mixture:
Brush Application: 1:1 ratio by weight (e.g. 5g of powder to 5g of alcohol)
Spray Application: 1:2 ratio by weight (e.g. 5g of powder to 10g of alcohol)
*Double the coverage with spray application!
-
Step 2
Brush Application: Every purchase of our liquid ready comes with one (1) foam brush applicator. Apply even coats with foam brush as long as you do not see the substrate through the coat.
Spray gun, air knife or preval application: Use a spray gun or air knife, or screw on a preval spray system to the bottle and spray evenly just like an aeresol spray.
Allow the solution to dry fully or use a hair dryer or heat gun to dry it in seconds.
