PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

1.A. Verify that substrates to receive product are prepared in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

3.2 PREPARATION

2.A. Protect adjacent surfaces to prevent accidental application to surfaces not indicated to receive product; remove accidental applications from surfaces immediately, following manufacturer's instructions.

2.B. Preparation of existing surfaces: 2.B.1. Remove all surface sealers, coatings, curing compounds that prohibit proper reaction of product. Completely remove all residue if chemical stripping is required. 2.B.2. If degreasing is necessary to remove excess grease, oils, etc that prohibit etching and cleaning, use bio-based Soy-It Industrial Degreaser Concentrate.
