APPLICATION

Apply by spray, roller or brush. A wide range of spray equipment can be used including airless spray or conventional air atomizing spray. Clean up with water mixed with liquid detergent. Spray equipment should be given a final cleaning with T-5130 thinner or lacquer thinner to remove moisture and prevent corrosion. S-13 products are water-based systems and require the complete evaporation of water to achieve cure. DO NOT apply to surfaces that are, or will be, lower than 50°F (10°C) within 12 hours.
