*Important Notes
Surface preparation is critical — all metal surfaces must be clean, sound, and free from oil, grease, dirt, and loose rust prior to application.
Not suitable as a standalone coating — must be overcoated with an approved Globalcote system.
Where rainwater harvesting is present, allow 14 days curing and an initial rinse before reconnecting collection systems.
Always conduct a small test patch in an inconspicuous area before full application.
