Edges should be kept sharp, which gives grip to peel the dried Sinclair Film, - WE strongly recommend that before you apply the coating, first apply painter’s tape on edges , giving the boundary line of application, followed by application, Painter tape may be removed once it is applied, Even if it is kept it will not obstruct Peelability after six months. Spray Suggest a Binks Pressure Pot with a large orifice tip (#68, gel coat tip). You should be able to get 15mil coating on a horizontal surface and 10mil on a vertical. Please see application notes, use conventional HVLP Gun , IT is advisable to apply with a Airless or Air assisted spray gun, in order to have a single coat and thicker film,
Roller use a thick nap cloth roller. Again, use plenty of material on the roller and use short strokes with light pressure. Do not try to make it go too far in one stroke; you should be able to get about the thickness of 4-5 mils covers per coat. 2- 3 coats covers will approximately equal the desired thickness of 10-15 mils. Rolling will produce a "stippling" effect. For a smoother finish, tip off very lightly with a brush after rolling,

Question 10

Can we Dilute Coating with Water?

Accepted Answer

It is general belief of an Individual to add water in a coating: Pl. DO NOT add water ". On addition of Water, you are diluting the effective ingredients, which lower the film formation. This Coating must have film thickness over 10mils,

Question 13

How can dry time improved?

Accepted Answer

Drying time can be improved by hot air circulation.

Question 14

Can Sinclair strippable coating for window glass be sprayed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can spray it. Preferred method is roller, which helps control necessary film thickness to facilitate its removal.
