APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions The surface to be treated has to be clean and dry. During application and drying the temperature of the air, the surface to be treated and the lacquer has to be over 18 ºC and the relative humidity of the air below 70 %.
Treatment Stir the lacquer carefully before use. Thin the lacquer to the viscosity required with Thinner 1033 or Thinner 1035. For curtain coating thinnig is not necessary. Do not use iron containers as mixing container. Instead use plastic, enamel or acid resistant steel containers.

The same whiteness like in Merit Sealer W (005 2724) will be achieved by adding 54 parts (1/192) white Temaspeed Premium, 122 TS05 (=17,22 g), colourants to the 20 L can size Merit Sanding, 005 2722 00 70.
Cleaning of tools Thinner 1033 or Thinner 1035.
EU VOC 2004/42/EC-limit value The Volatile Organic Compounds amount is 630 g/litre of paint.
Maximum VOC content in ready to use paint (thinned 20 % by volume) is 664 g/l.
