Limitations *The alignment of aluminum flakes in aluminum-

filled finishes is very dependent on application
conditions and techniques. Care must be taken to
keep conditions as constant as possible to reduce
variations in final appearance. It is also advisable to
work from a single batch of material since variations
can occur from batch to batch.

Cleanup & Safety
Cleanup Use Thinner 2 or Acetone. In case of spillage, dispose
of in accordance with local applicable regulations.
Safety Read and follow all caution statements on this product
data sheet and on the MSDS for this product and use
personal protective equipment as directed.
Ventilation When used in enclosed areas, thorough air circulation
must be used during and after application until the
coating is cured. The ventilation system should be
capable of preventing the solvent vapor concentration
from reaching the lower explosion limit for the solvents
used. User should test and monitor exposure levels to
insure all personnel are below guidelines. If not able to
monitor levels, use MSHA/NIOSH approved supplied
air respirator.
