APPLICATION GUIDE
Preparation
Old paint finishes should be removed if flaking at all and the surface should be sanded to create a texture (also known as a mechanical key) prior to applying Resincoat Weatherguard Paint. After the surface has been completely abraded, thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area of any remaining dust or contaminants before applying a suitable primer. For more information on preparation, please see technical data sheet.
Priming
• For new concrete substrate or a substrate that is in good condition, prime with Resincoat Damp Tolerant Primer
• For dusty, old or weaker concrete substrates prime with Resincoat Deep Penetrating Primer
• For concrete substrate with heavy oil residue, clean thoroughly using a suitable degreaser scraping off any dust or dirt and then prime with Resincoat Oil Tolerant Primer
Application
As Resincoat Weatherguard Extreme is a polyaspartic paint, it can be applied in temperatures as low as -5°C.
1. Mix Part A on its own with a mixing paddle, attached to an electric drill, for about 1 minute. Once mixed, add ALL of Part B and continue to mix for another 90 seconds, keeping the paddle in suspension to avoid mixing air into the unit.
2. Pour entirety of the tin's contents into a plastic paint scuttle or tray.
3. Immediately begin applying your paint with a nylon-bonded resin suitable roller.
4. Use a brush around the edges to cut in (a second pair of hands can be useful for this stage).
5. As soon as the first coat has started curing (is no longer tacky to touch) you can re-coat; this typically takes 2 hours at 10°C, however curing times does increase in sub-zero temperatures.
6. The cured final coat is ok for contact. Chemicals, including water, should not be introduced for the first 2 days (Full chemical cure) if at all possible.
PLEASE NOTE: The pot life of this product is 20 minutes. This means that once parts have been mixed, the paint will start to chemically cure after this time. Ensure you remove the paint from the tin in this window. The paint will then be workable on your floor for up to 40 minutes.
Pot life = Time to harden in pot following addition of hardener
Working Time = Time to apply product before it becomes unworkable
USEFUL INFORMATION
• Roller sleeves should be used once per coat, two coats will require two roller sleeves.
• This product should NOT be split. Taking smaller quantities from each tin, even if measured correctly, may cause issues with activating.
