The surface must be free of dirt, loose paint, rust, oil, grease, wax, soap, and any other foreign matter. Stir thoroughly before use. EZ Bilge may be applied by brush, roller, conventional or airless spray. For brush or roller application apply without thinning although in hot weather 5 to 10% Pettit #120 Brushing Thinner may be added to maintain a wet edge. For best results on large, smooth surfaces roll out using a short nap roller followed immediately by leveling off with the tip of a brush. For conventional spray application thin 15 to 20% with Pettit 121 Spraying Thinner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brush, Roller, or Spray\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Coats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 minimum\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Film Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 mils (3 wet mils)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 545 sq. ft\/gal.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50°F Min. \/ 90°F Max.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinner:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 Brushing Thinner or 121 Spraying Thinner\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ctable style=\"height: 100px; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRY TIMES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/caption\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  Temp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  To Touch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  To Recoat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  90°F\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  1-1\/2 HR\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  8 HR\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  70°F\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  3 HR\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  16 HR\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  50°F\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  6 HR\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  24 HR\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePainted Surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eClean painted areas by washing with a solution of two cups household ammonia per gallon of water.
