What to Know Prior to Applying
Before you go spraying away your undercoating on any metal surface you can find, consider these tips to get the most out of your application:
- Make sure to let the undercoating dry for at least 24 hours before using the coated object. Exposing it to water or using it too soon can affect the quality of the application.
- For your safety, avoid spraying undercoating on electrical circuits, areas that are intended to move without restriction, and surfaces that tend to get hot. Coating these areas can damage the object being coated and become a safety hazard.
- Use masking tape or cover up areas that you’d like to keep undercoating-free.
- Wear masks and other protective garments when applying the undercoating spray. Avoid inhaling the undercoating when sprayed, because it can cause irritation to your respiratory system and lead to more serious health-related issues.
- For optimal adhesion, only spray the undercoating onto metal surfaces. Sometimes it can be difficult for the coating to stick to rubber or plastic surfaces, making it ineffective.
