The crew began the project by meeting with office staff to review the product. We discussed the RUST GRIP and ENAMO GRIP specs, application process, and safety precautions. And got the ENAMO GRIP tinted to the desired color. They prepped the site by grinding and sanding the wrought iron to free it of rust. The regional manager met with crew to make an application plan. They began with stairwells, rails, continued onto the balcony ceilings, catwalks, etc. They applied the RUST GRIP with 2" chip brushes and 4" mini rollers. After the RUST GRIP dried, the time depended on the temperature, the guys mixed the ENAMO GRIP with the catalyst and applied the product onto the primed surfaces. The RUST GRIP was applied in a single coat, ENAMO GRIP in a double coat. The crew continued on using the same routine for the remainder of the project. Due to temperature fluctuations, and the standards set by SPI, the crew would pause on the project when it got below 50 degrees for ENAMO GRIP. We also sanded the primed surfaces to help the ENAMO GRIP adhere to the RUST GRIP. All products that were used for the project were supplied by SPI, spoke with our region representative on a regular basis, filled out the PRS sheet upon product order, and followed all SPI regulations.
