Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and free from grease and dust. For metal, wire brush thoroughly to remove any existing rust. If long-term protection is needed, a rust-inhibitive primer is recommended before applying Bitcote.
Application: Apply by brush or spray. A minimum of two coats is advised, allowing the first coat to dry completely (4-8 hours touch dry) before applying the second at a 90-degree angle.
Thinning: For spray application, thin with no more than 10% Bartoline White Spirit. Do not over-thin.
Compatibility: Do not apply ordinary paints over Bitcote. Avoid applications where the surface will come into contact with mineral oils or solvents. This product is not suitable for tarmacadam drives or roadways.
Care & Cleaning: Clean application tools immediately after use with Bartoline White Spirit. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
