DESCRIPTION AND USES
Rust-Oleum® Stops Rust® Crystal Clear Enamelis designed as a durable protective clear coating to provide excellent resistance to abrasion, chipping, and dulling. This spray applies and features a comfort tip with a wider finger pad to reduce fatigue caused by continuous spraying and an any angle tip which allows you to spray at any angle.
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open garage. Use when temperature is between 50 and 90 °F (10 and 32 °C) and humidity is below 65% to ensure proper drying. Do not apply to surfaces that, when heated, exceed 200 °F (93 °C). Avoid spraying in very windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect from spray mist.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Wash the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable cleaning method to remove dirt. Rinse with fresh water and let dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush or sandpaper. Clean concrete surfaces with a suitable cleaner and water. Rinse and allow to dry. Lightly sand glossy surfaces.
APPLICATION
Shake the can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. If mixing ball fails to rattle, DO NOT STRIKE CAN. Contact Rust-Oleum. Shake often during use. Hold the can 10-16" from the surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface. Keep the can in motion while spraying. Apply 2 or more light coats a few minutes apart. For best results, apply multiple light coats versus applying one heavy coat. Crystal Clear Enamel can be used outdoors. Do not apply over Stops Rust Bright Coat Finish or Aluminum finish. Do not use near open flame.
