Prior to using TSF-45, be sure surface is clean and free of any residual sandblasting grit or dust. Thoroughly brush or air blow clean prior to application. TSF-45 adheres directly, without priming, to clean Precision Board, concrete, wood, steel, glass, even galvanized metal. Works well for blending monument signs and texturing steel poles. APPLICATIONS: Apply TSF-45 with a trowel, spatula, or hopper gun directly from container - thinning is not recommended. Apply in two coats. Work first coat directly into surface and be sure to achieve total wet out and intimate surface contact. This is very important to assure long term bonding to the foam surface and for preventing later blistering or delamination. Apply sufficient material during second coat to allow the surface to be worked into the desired effect. First coat does not have to completely dry prior second coat. Try to achieve desired surface finish as soon as possible, so material does not become overworked. If overworked, it will become harder to achieve the more subtle shapes. If this occurs, simply add a little more material and continue. Use trowel, spatula, other flat tools, or stipple rollers to achieve varying textures. Add a wood grain effect with comb or hair pick. Drying time of TSF-45 is totally dependent on temperature, humidity and the thickness of application. Using the standard of 75 degrees Fahrenheit and Relative Humidity of 55%, a normal plaster type thickness will require about 12 hours drying time. When in doubt, let the finished article dry longer. TSF-45 is available in a standard white color, matte finish, requiring no additional weather or ultra violet protection for Precision Board. If a different color is required, any latex, vinyl, or equivalent paint can be used over the finished TSF-45. Be sure to allow adequate drying time for TSF-45 application prior to paint application. Clean up with warm soapy water. Please call us at (800) 845-0745 if you have any questions or concerns.
