APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Apply in ventilated spray booth
Wear protective clothing
Mold equipment must be heated to between 40° and 80°C [104° and 176°F
Spray both seams, then the center of the blank cavity 
Apply a smooth, even coating
The mold equipment should be heated to between 40° and 80°C [104° and 176°F]. We recommend the use of a Bink’s Spray Gun Model #2001SS Spray Gun with a combination of 565N Needle,66SS Fluid Nozzle and 66SS Air Nozzle. Air pressure should be maintained between 25 to 30 PSI maximum. Blanks should besprayed with the neck down.This will ensure that the loadingzoneof the blank is well coated. The product should be sprayed from top to bottom. Hold spray gun 25 to 30cm (10-12 inches) from area to be coated.Apply a thin layer of coating, allow to dry, and repeat process until light does not reflect off coated area. Coating should be 1 to 2 milsor .001 to .002 of an inch thick.

BLANK MOLDS: Spray both seams of the blank mold first, then spray the center of the blank cavity. Spraying of the blank is completed whensurface is fuzzy gray in color and will notreflect light. It is not necessary to wipe the coating down when dry.

NECK RINGS: Remove guide ring and open neck ring so threads are exposed. Spray light coating on threads ofthe neck ring. Spray tops of the neck ring with the same thickness as the blanks.

BOTTOM PLATES AND BAFFLES: Spray the same as the blanks.

FINISH MOLDS: Spray tops of molds same as blanks. Spray a light coat on the cavity of the mold and wipe off well. Coating on the molds serves as a release agent more than a lubricant.
