Surface Preparation:
Remove all loose dirt, oil, rust, chalk, mildew, loose coating, or other contaminants, which would prevent maximum adhesion of the fresh coating. If chalk remains on a previously painted roof, repeated washing may be necessary. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to dry completely before proceeding. Be sure all surfaces are sound and clean, and all rust has been removed down to bright metal, using mechanical methods such as wire brush, sandpaper or steel wool. Prime clean rust removed areas with Dicor Metal Rust Inhibitive Primer RP-MRRIP-Q. Seal all fasteners and around all roof protrusions and vent mountings (vents, lander stanchions, etc.) with Dicor Lap Sealant. Seal all joints and roof seams with Dicor Coating Ready Cover Tape RP-CRCT-4-1C.
Note: For application on an aluminum surface, our Dicor Metal Rust Inhibitive Primer is required for proper coating adhesion. Metal RV Roof Coating is for use on Roof Surfaces only. It is recommended to cover and protect the exterior sidewalls as well as front and rear caps of the RV with plastic sheeting to avoid the coating sticking to surfaces other than the roof. If coating comes in contact with any surface other than the roof, wash it off immediately.
Directions for Use:
Apply, un-thinned, at the rate of 200 square feet per gallon, per coat. For maximum performance, two coats are required. Apply each coat at right angles to each other by brush or roller. The first coat must be dry before the second coat is applied. Under normal conditions of 70°F (21°C ) and 50% relative humidity, the second coat may be applied within 1 to 2 hours at the same rate as the first coat. In order to prevent any chance of “wash off” of freshly applied coating, do not apply at temperatures below 50°F (10°C), or when rainfall, cold, darkness, or high humidity are expected within 4 hours after application. During these 4 hours, at least 2 hours should be of direct sunlight. Allow 24 hours for full cure.
Clean-Up:
Clean brushes, tools, and other equipment with soapy water immediately after use. Dried film is difficult to remove from any surface. If the coating is subjected to rain, before it has properly dried, and wash-off occurs, it is necessary to immediately wash stained surfaces with soapy water to prevent staining.
Caution:
Do not take internally
Close container after each use
Use with adequate ventilation
Use protective clothing to avoid contact with fiberglass, skin, or eyes
keep away from children
Do not allow product to freeze
