Limitations Applications should not exceed 200oF (93oC) sustained or peak areas above. Do not subject wet coating in pail format to freezing conditions.
  Substrates & Surface Preparation
Surface Prep Surface should be dry and free of foreign matter. Surface prep can be used to NACE 1-3 (SSPC SP 5-6) when applicable.
Ferrous Surfaces Should be primed prior to application of WB. Since the coating is water-based it is important to have a boundary layer of protection to eliminate flash rusting affect.
Nonferrous
Surfaces		 The coating can be applied directly to nonferrous surfaces. Surface should be cleaned and free of oil, dirt or any other foreign matter.
  Application Equipment
Listed below are the general equipment guidelines for the application of this product.
Airless Sprayer
Pump Ratio: 33:1 or larger
Volume: 1.5 gallons or greater
Hose: 3/8″ or larger with no more than 3′ of 1/4″ whip. 1/2″ hose recommended for length above 50′.
Top Size: .017″ (for tight spots)
.019-.023″ (for normal use)
Pressure: Minimum of 3000 PSI
Small Spray Application Please consult Mascoat for this sprayer. This gun is excellent for small applications & touchups.
Brush Brushing is only recommended for small areas or for use as a touchup of less than 0.5 ft2 (0.04 m2). Brushing can inhibit coating performance. Please consult Mascoat for detailed instructions.
Roller Not recommended for this coating.
  Application Conditions
Surface
Temps		 Surface temperatures for applications should be 40oF (15oC) or above. Lower surface temperatures will increase dry times.
Applications Ambient & Cold (40o-139oF, 4o-60oC): For temperatures (surface or ambient - whichever is lower), an initial tack coat is recommended of 10 mils (0.25 mm or 250 microns). This tack coat will help to eliminate sag on vertical wall applications. Tack coat should be dry to touch prior to next pass. Typical coat thickness should not exceed 20-22 mils (0.50-0.55 mm) wet. Coating can be recoated after each coat is thoroughly dry.

Hot: (Above 140oF, >60oC) Application of WeatherBloc should be applied as per Mascoat detailed hot application instructions. Please consult manufacturer.
Application Thickness Product can be applied in successive coats to increase insulation ability. There are no upper limits of total film thickness.
Dryfall Make sure to mask any area prior to application. Dryfall occurs within 3′ radius (1 meter).

Mixing Only a mud mixing paddle should be used. Use 1/2″ drill motor to stir contents with paddle. Make sure drill is set to reverse setting to insure that the paddle will not mar the bucket’s inner wall. Please consult Mascoat for paddle, if needed.
Thinning Thinning is not normally needed in most applications. Thinning should not exceed one quart per five gallon pail for high temperature applications. Please consult Mascoat for specific instructions, if thinning is desired.
Pot Life Coating is one part, so no catalization is needed. Pail can be reused if properly sealed.

Use 90o thumb or moisture meter prior to recoat to insure coating is dry. This is the estimated dry time for 15-20 mils of WB wet. Dry time may vary depending on other conditions such as wind or enclosed environments. The times are estimated dry times. Lighter thickness passes will expedite dry times. Forced ventilation in confined areas will also expedite dry times.
