Ensure all surfaces to be coated are free of grease, dirt and dust. Any pre-painted surface should have flaking paint wire brushed back to a sound substrate. Stir thoroughly before and during use with a flat paddle. Apply two coats of C.R.P. with a long nap polyester roller. Commence from the top of the area working down to the bottom. Allow eight hours between coats. If swallowed, seek medical advice. ➃ ➇
