Product Description

Thinning: Use as supplied by brush, do not thin.

Spreading Capacity: 18-20 m²/l when applied to smooth, non-porous surfaces.

Drying Times: 5-15 minutes.

Equipment Cleaner: Water.

Colour range: A light blue solution which, when applied, creates a semi-transparent blue/black effect.
