HOW TO APPLY FORMULA 131
APPLICATION PROCESS
STEP 1: PREPARATION
-
Clean your surface with a denatured alcohol to remove any oils from surface.
-
Ensure there is no residue left on the surface prior to application.
-
Dry thoroughly to remove any dust and contaminants.
-
Assemble your rollers by attaching the rollers to the corresponding roller frames.
-
PRO TIP: Wrap your rollers with blue painters tape to remove lint and dust from your rollers. (Remove the tape prior to application)
STEP 2: MIX SOLUTION
-
Beginning with Part B, use your spatula to begin stirring the solution.
-
There will be a powder substance at the bottom.
-
VERY IMPORTANT: Stir until all of the powder is completely dissolved into liquid.
-
Pour the entire mixed Part B solution into your Part A container.
-
Use your spatula to stir Part B and Part A together until it is a fully dissolved uniform liquid
-
VERY IMPORTANT: When you are finished mixing, there should be NO RESIDUE left on spatula.
STEP 3: APPLY FIRST LAYER OF FORMULA 131
-
You will begin with your polyamide roller (this roller has a soft and silky texture
and short nap height to keep the right volume going onto the surface). -
Pour an appropriate amount of your mixed solution directly onto the surface.
(Optional: You may also use the paint trays that are included in your kit) -
Evenly saturate your polyamide roller with the solution.
-
Begin spreading the solution starting with the outer perimeters working towards the center of your surface.
-
For smaller sections, countertop edges, and sink cut-outs, use your smaller handheld rollers.
-
Air bubble should begin to emerge once your surface is fully coated.
-
Next, you will use your DRY high-density foam roller (this roller has a thick foam texture)
-
Back roll at an angle to smooth any bubbles on the surface.
-
VERY IMPORTANT: Occasionally dry off your roller with a clean towel to remove any excess solution.
-
Ensure all of your surface is covered, including the edges and areas around sink cut outs.
STEP 4: SECOND APPLICATION
-
Repeat Step 3, applying a second coat immediately (wet on wet) to ensure full coverage.
-
Once all surfaces are coated and smoothed twice, DO NOT TOUCH for a minimum of 1 hour.
STEP 5: WAIT 24 HOURS BEFORE BUFFING OR WETTING SURFACE
-
Attach your 600 Grit sandpaper to your velcro sandpaper holder.
-
You may buff to your desired smoothness after 24 hours.
-
VERY IMPORTANT: Very lightly buff in a circular motion. DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE.
