COVERAGE: The coverage in the priming section is to be used as a guideline only. For an accurate calculation test a small area first. Stir thoroughly before using. To avoid patchiness due to drying edges, a wet edge should be maintained, or alternatively work should be carried out to an internal or external angle or to a feature. Where it impractical to maintain a wet edge, the dry edge should be lightly wetted prior to continuing. A similar technique should be used when coating small discrete areas such as scaffold attachment points etc.

PRECAUTION: Alkaline! May irritate skin and eyes. It is recommended that suitable protective measures are taken. Eye goggles and necessary during handling, dilution and application.
