DIRECTIONS FOR USE

GENERAL
SURFACE
PREPARATION New Surfaces: Steel - Best results are obtained over a surface-
abrasive-blasted to a Near White Blast (SSPC-SP-10, SSI-Sa 2 1/2).
Performance over hand or power-tool cleaned surfaces is dependent
on the degree of cleaning.. Non-filming solvents such as acetone,
lacquer thinner, and MEK are suitable.

Surfaces must be dry , clean, free of oil, grease, dirt, mildew,
form release agents, curing compounds, loose and flaking paint and
other foreign substance before coating.

Apply a test patch of the coating system specified. Allow product(s)
to dry and cure at least one week before testing adhesion per ASTM
D 3359. If adhesion is poor, brush blast then prime with FIX-IT first.

Previously Painted Surfaces: If the old paint is more than 25%
failed by rusting, peeling, or flaking, it must be removed and treated
as a new surface. If less than 25% has failed, clean the failed areas
and spot-prime with FIX-IT. Old coatings should be tested for lifting.
If they lift, remove them. Scuff sand glossy areas and aged epoxy
coatings and apply FIX-IT first

==================================================

USE FIX-IT FIRST •Always on sandblasted steel surfaces
•Always on steel surfaces subject to constant water immersion
•Always on old coatings which fail the above test for lifting

Apply a very thin layer of FIX-IT with a rag or sponge an let

air-dry for minimum 30 minutes

Thereafter apply primer coat EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L

FIX-IT plus EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L form an electropassivating layer
on the steel surface!

There are many practical situations where it is NOT NECESSARY to
use FIX-IT first and where a single coat of EVERLAST®C.A.R.O.L.
applied directly to firm rust gives excellent long lasting rust-pre-
vention results even without further top-coat: Please contact your
technical service center for further information.

==================================================

MIXING
EVERLAST®
C.A.R.O.L. THIS PRODUCT is supplied in two parts.

Open lid of part A can and homogenize the content with
a manual or electrical stirrer until there are no more lumps.

after this premixing operation:
pour in the whole contents of part B component

Do not throw the lid of part A away

MIXING: Using mechanical agitation, mix thoroughly and scrape sides
of can to ensure thorough blending. Power mix at low speed
(300 to 600 RPM ) with a double helical mixer
( 60 to 80 mm diameter or 3 inches) continuously for 5 minutes.

(You will find the safety instruction of the mixture on the back of the
Part A can (green printed area).

After mixing compounds A and B losely replace lid and let sit
for 5 minutes-for air bubbles to disappear.

Mixed material is usable for 3 > hrs: if it thickens, do not add thinner,
but discard and mix fresh material.

Base Component Part A (#35671, ) and Activator
Component Part B (#35672)

==================================================

APPLICATION Brush, roller or airless spray. If roller applied, use a 3/4"-l" nap
roller (Wooster Professional R-241 or equal)

Replace lid losely after filling the brush/roller , to ensure
maximum pot-live during use.

SPRAY
APPLICATION AlRLESS- The airless spray tool has to be equipped for 2-component
coatings.For airless spray, use a 0.060-0.070 inch tip.
Use 65-75 lbs pressure for normal gloss.

==================================================

THINNING Do not thin

TINTING Do not tint

POT LIFE POT LIFE : at 60-80 degrees F (16-27 degrees C) is > 3 hrs hours.

Replace lid losely after filling the brush/roller , to ensure
maximum pot-live during use.

UNUSED PRODUCT To prevent contamination of unused product, do not return any
material to its original container.

CLEANUP: Uncured coating may be removed with with a commercial paint
stripping solution. Consult the manufactures of these chemicals
for use and handling instructions.

GENERAL
INFOMATION This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
section SAFETY to see the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
