Application Specifications
Application Methods
Single Leg Airless Spray: Remove all filters from spray system, use pump capable of 2,000 psi line pressure; 0.015-0.019 spray tip. Pre-heat material from 90-110°F prior to mixing and application. Graco viscon in-line heater recommended
Plural Airless Spray: Remove all filters from spray system, use Graco XP-70 or equivalent heated plural spray unit with heated hose bundle and in-line static mixer. 0.015-0.019 spray tip. Heat A and B components to between 70 and 85°F and spray at minimum line pressure to achieve fan
Brush and Roll: Thin as needed with K-1034 or K-1070 at up to 10%
