Preparation

• For maximum adhesion abrade surface and remove all loose rust with a wire brush. Remove dirt and grease with dilute detergent and rinse with clean water. Allow to dry.
• For pre-painted surfaces, remove all loose paint and wash down with dilute detergent, rinse with clean water and allow to dry.

Note: Special precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation of dust during surface preparation of pre-1960's paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead.

• Bare cast iron and rusted surfaces should be primed before applying Hammerite Radiator Shades. For best results use Hammerite No.1 Rustbeater.

Application

• Ideal application temperature is 8ºC to 25ºC. Stir thoroughly before use.
• Do not apply Hammerite Radiator Shades at temperatures below 5ºC.
• By brush: apply 1 or 2 coats, depending on the condition, onto the surface of a cold radiator. Allow 12 hours between coats.
• Do not use radiators for 24 hours after application.

Cleaning & Storage

After use clean brush with soap and water. Protect from frost and extreme temperatures. Do NOT empty paint into drains or watercourses.
