Product Application

Stir thoroughly before use.
Tuff Coat may be applied by Tuff Coat roller or spray.
Applying excessively heavy films will lead to insufficient through-drying and mud cracking of the paint and will yield soft paint films.
Do not apply Tuff Coat on extremely humid days 75% RH or when rain is threatening.
Do not apply in the late afternoon when working outdoors as the wet film may be adversely affected by dew.
When working in cooler temperatures be sure the air and surface temperatures will remain at or above 45°F for at least 8 hours after application and the surface temperature will remain 5°F above the dew point during the application.

Surface Preparation

Coating performance, in general, is proportional to the degree of surface preparation.
Follow recommendations carefully, avoiding shortcuts.
Inadequate preparation of surfaces will virtually assure inadequate coating performance.
Surface must be free of dirt, loose paint, rust, oil, grease, wax, soap and any other foreign matter.
Prep painted areas well.
Remove existing mildew with household bleach instead of ammonia.

Product Application - Metals

Sand surface with 80 grit sandpaper, then solvent clean with thinner to remove residue.

Mixing

Due to the high solid’s nature of this product, there will be significant settling that occurs in the can or pail.
Stir or shake contents thoroughly to remix any settled material.
While applying the product, make sure to mix the product remaining in the can or pail often to ensure proper suspension of the non-skid additive into the paint film.
