To get the consistency just right, a clean pail or drum with capacity for dilution with water usually works well. The coating is generally a people-friendly compound and doesn't contain harsh chemicals. Review the material safety data sheet to understand how to accommodate an unusual experience as you would with any other products you are unfamiliar with. The material safety data sheet has been packed with the coating. An extra copy is easily available from Carborundum.
Good procedure means having it on file for easy reference.
All surfaces should be clean and dry and free of any grease, oil, loose scale or particles and drawing compounds. If the surface is very shiny and smooth, usually some surface roughening with a fine-grain sandpaper may be necessary. Typical material surfaces include metals, refractory ceramics, graphite, etc. Ceramic surfaces should be examined for signs of scaling or oxidation. Coating Preparation As with most coatings, a thorough mixing is necessary.
