Magna Coatings Technology Inc.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
All surface preparation should be carried out in accordance with good painting practices. Remove all loose, peeling or powdery paint from the surface. All dirt, grease, oil, wax and other foreign material must be removed with a suitable cleaner and allowed to thoroughly dry. Repair all cracks holes and surface imperfections. All smooth or glossy surfaces should be dulled with sandpaper. All wood surfaces must be sealed with SAFECOAT 725 ® first @ 360 square feet per gallon and allowed to dry thoroughly (1-2 hours) before application of SAFECOAT 747 CLEAR ® @ 170 square feet per gallon.

Mixing Component A and Component B
Pour appropriate size container of Component B into the container of Component A. 750 ml(26 fl.oz.) into a 1 gallon can or 3.78 litre's (1 US gallon into) a 18.9 litre (5 US gallon) pail. Containers of Component A have been short filled to allow for the addition of Component B. Stir well with a stir stick or a mechanical mixer until thoroughly mixed. Mixed material will remain liquid for at least 24 hours. The blended material is suitable for application as long as it remains liquid.

APPLICATION:
Brush: Use as supplied. For large areas, an addition of approximately 5% SAFECOAT 747 CLEAR ® Reducer will help maintain a wet edge.
Roller: Not recommended.
Spray: Airless spray is the recommended method. Equipment should be capable of producing at least 1500 PSI. Tip size of 13 one-thousandths is most suitable. Use of SAFECOAT 747 CLEAR ® Reducer is recommended to improve flow and leveling. Conventional spray equipment is not recommended as the atomization air tends to produce micro-foam in the applied film. If the use of conventional equipment is desired, addition of 10 to 15% SAFECOAT 747 CLEAR ® Reducer can aid in the reduction of foam. Always test spray equipment on a sample area prior to use.
o Surface and ambient temperature must be at least 50°F during application and must remain so for at least 48 hours following.
o Application of two coats is normally required to achieve the necessary film build. Allow first coat to become tack free before applying second coat (approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour). The cured film is hydroscopic and must be covered with SAFECOAT 725 ® @ 360 square feet per gallon.
o Allow at least 3 to 4 hours dry time before an overcoat is applied. In humid weather, dry time to overcoat will be extended, so ensure SAFECOAT 747 CLEAR ® Varnish is completely dry before application of SAFECOAT 725 ®.
