ALWAYS USE PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND EYEWEAR when using BlackTop. Ideal BlackTop application temps are 18°-28°C. Use only in moderate to dry atmospheric conditions i.e. 70% humidity or lower.
FOR THE BEST END RESULTS, apply BlackTop to clean & dry surfaces that have been sealed with KBS RustSeal. If needed, use KBS AquaKlean to remove all surface contaminants. (Avoid solvent-based cleaners which leave invisible residues that can affect the adhesion of BlackTop.) To topcoat freshly painted RustSeal surfaces (less than 4 days old), apply BlackTop directly as no other prep is required. For all other applications, lightly sand with 320 grit paper then clean & dry surface. Apply KBS Fusion by aerosol or brush. You are ready to topcoat in 20-30 minutes.
Do Not Shake Can. Stir contents thoroughly making sure pigments are well-dispersed. Do Not Paint Directly Out of Can. Dispense a working amount of BlackTop into a separate container (steel or glass is best) and seal can immediately. Unused paint should NEVER be put back into the can as it will shorten its shelf life and cause pressure build-up possibly popping the lid. Keep can groove free of paint by using a scoop or KBS paint spout. Use plastic wrap between the lid and the top of the can to stop metal to metal contact as BlackTop is extremely strong and tough and can permanently seal the lid. Store in cool dry place.
ALWAYS WORK IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Apply BlackTop to prepared surfaces by brush or spray equipment. Brush marks will level out. Thinning is not generally required, but if needed 5%-10% is normally adequate. Use KBS #1 Thinner only. Apply one or two thin covering coats (20um to 40um thickness) for general automotive applications. For marine or industrial applications, apply a minimum of 2 thin covering coats. Recoating can be done once first or consecutive coat is dry-to-touch. For end best results, always apply coats consecutively within 24 hours of each coat curing. Average cure times are 2-4 hours depending on humidity levels.
Always use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator. Spray pressure of 35-45 psi, 250-330kpa for siphon/pot guns 25-35psi, 170-250kpa, for gravity/top container guns. Thin 5-10% if required. Use only KBS #1 Thinner.
KBS # 1 Thinner is ideal for clean up. BlackTop must be cleaned up before it dries. BlackTop cannot be removed by any solvent once it is cured. Always wear protective gloves to avoid skin contact and temporary staining.
