Application:
Although Super Therm can be applied by non-professionals, we recommend using a certified applicator.
Preparation:
- Surface must be clean and completely dry, with no loose debris or particles, rust, dirt, oil, films or residues of any kind. Super Therm will cover previous coatings if they are fully adhered to the surface
- If over-coating an existing paint, make sure all gloss is removed from surface by sanding or minimum blast
- Mechanically stir, as ceramics will tend to settle
- Remove all filters from spray equipment
