Surface Prep
Surfaces to be coated must be sound, clean, dry and free from grease, oil and other contaminants. Do not use
acetone or any solvent for any type of surface prep or treatment. To achieve good bonding and drying, the ideal
ambient temperature should be between 50°F and 80°F and humidity below 50%.
PAINT & PATINAS Application:

Spray application is the preferred method, although brushing or ow coating may be used. If applying with
a brush, use a high quality natural bristle brush. When using the matte formula, brushing is not advised. Any
dust collected on the cleaned metal should be blown or wiped o with a clean cloth before coating is applied.
Coating should be applied in full coats. The second coat should be applied in about an hour. If you are unable to
apply the second coat in a timely manner, you may lightly sand the rst coat, so that the second coat will adhere.
Take measures to minimize dust and debris falling on your coated products. Metal surfaces should be at room
temperature (70°F–85°F).
SPRAY: Thinning is not necessary, or recommended, when using spray equipment with Ever Clear. If thinning is
desired, use up to 20% Sculpt Nouveau Solvent Thinner. For best results use a good quality HVLP sprayer. Make sure
that the spray equipment is clean and at room temperature. Spray at the lowest possible psi so that it lays down
lightly, usually about 20 psi with a 1.2 - 1.4 orice tip.

DRYING TIME: The coating air dries to the touch in less than 1 hour – depending on room temperature and may be
forced dried faster at 250°F. The coating air dries solid/hard lm within 4 hours, depending on coating thickness,
temperature, etc. Full cure dry time will be 5-7 days.
Ever Clear two-part is packaged with detailed instructions and lters for mixing. One gallon typically covers
125 sq. ft. with the recommended 2 coats.
