APPLICATION

Apply by spray, roller or brush. A wide range of spray equipment can be used including airless spray or conventional spray. Refer to Gaco Western General Instructions SG-ACRYLIC for spraying instruction.

When applying GacoFlex A-4121 by spray in hot weather, coating may coalesce/thicken in idle spray hoses due to the high temperatures. It is recommended that hoses be flushed with water at the end of each day to avoid potential problems such as coating build-up in hoses, poor spray pattern, or plugging.

Clean up with water supplemented with a liquid detergent. Spray equipment should be given a final cleaning with T-5130 thinner or lacquer thinner to remove moisture and prevent possible corrosion.

GacoFlex A-4121 coating is water-borne and requires the complete evaporation of the water to achieve cure. DO NOT apply to surfaces that are, or that will reach, 50°F (10°C) within 12 hours.
