1.By hand using a paint pad Before applying each stroke be sure to wipe excess liquid coating into tray Apply on level horizontal surface Testing application stroke patterns for your best result is advised Steady even strokes are essential to maintain even liquid layer thickness

2. Airless spray gun or airbrush tool Using either a spray gun or airbrush tool allows for control of layer thickness like any paint application Thicker layers result in a glossier finish Thinner layers can help achieve a satin finish Apply on level horizontal surface It will often help to add an extra 10% water to dilute the mixture to improve the performance of the spray gun Make sure the equipment is thoroughly cleaned after use

3.Automated Mayer rod/bar application machine Consult the manufacturer’s guide lines for the machine settings Perform tests to check the drying and gloss levelsDrying or Curing

The three application methods will have slightly different drying or curing characteristics:
1. By hand using a paint pad It is essential to allow the liquid coating to dry slowly to ensure bubbles release and the wet surface is allowed to spread and flatten evenly This should be done on a flat horizontal surface The environment should be as free of dust and dirt particles as possible Coating is usually ready to be handled after ONE to TWO hours after application but full curing will take 24 to 48 hours If available infrared heating lamps can be used to accelerate full curing but it is still advised to allow for layer to flatten and bubble

2. Airless spray gun or airbrush tool The thinner the layer the quicker the drying time Allow the layers to flatten and bubbles to release prior to any external heat or forced air drying Coating is usually ready to be handled after ONE to TWO hours after application but full curing will take 24 to 48 hours If available infrared heating lamps can be used to accelerate full curing but it is still advised to allow for layer to flatten and bubbles to release naturally prior to this
