SURFACE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE 

Bare Steel Sandblasting according to SA 2,5 or, if not possible, adequate mechanical cleaning should be carried out onto bare steel surfaces. Apply 1 coat of epoxy primer   EPOFOND AM-9 and let dry as suggested. Apply 1-2 coats of POLIFOND and overcoat with the recommended topcoat allowing the required waiting period between coats.

Previously Coated Steel If the existing paint is polyurethane or epoxy based, sandpaper and apply 1-2 coats of POLIFOND and overcoat with the required finish. In case of doubt on the nature of the old paint, sandpaper and carry our a patch test in order to ensure that the surface would not be softened or lift off when POLIFOND is being applied over. If this would happen remove all the old paint down to bare steel and follow the directions as per Bare Steel.

Bare Wood. Apply one coat of POLIGLASS varnish thinned up to 50-100% with Thinner 203 or as alternative one coat of EVIOX CROMOMINIO diluted 30-40% with Thinner 107. Let dry for 8-12 hours and after sanding apply 1-2 coats of POLIFOND followed with the recommended topcoat allowing the required waiting period between coats.

Previously Coated Wood. If the old paint was epoxy or polyurethane based and in good condition, sandpaper and apply 1-2 coats of POLIFOND and overcoat with the desired topcoat allowing the required waiting period between coats; if unknown or in poor condition, it is advisable to remove it down to bare wood and proceed as recommended for Bare Wood.
