Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the surface to be tested is relatively free of heavy grease or debris. Hold the spray can upright at a distance of approximately 10-15 centimeters from the target fitting. Apply a generous coating and observe for bubble formation.

Compatibility Note: This product is specifically designed for pneumatic, nitrogen, and LPG applications. Do not use this product on any oxy-acetylene components, as it is not chemically compatible and may pose a safety risk.

Care Instructions: Store the canisters in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the nozzle remains clean after use to prevent clogging. If the spray tip becomes blocked, remove it and rinse with warm water before reattaching.
