Application: A minimum of two coats of Adocoat Black Bitumen Paint should be applied by roller, brush or spray, the first coat being allowed to dry before the second is applied.

NOTE: Adocoat Black Bitumen Paint may bleed through any paints subsequently applied over it. Apply a primer recommended by the paint manufacturer be-fore over painting.

Drinking Water Tanks: Surfaces should be dry and free of mill scale, rust and dirt. All surfaces should be degreased immediately prior to coating. Apply by brush ensuring that all recesses, edges, rivet and bolt heads and nuts are coated thoroughly. Drying may be assisted by the provision of a forced air draught.

Apply a second coat, normally after 48hrs. It is important that the first coat is thoroughly dry before application of the second coat.

After the second coat has dried and before the tank is put into service it should be filled with cold drinking water and drained after not less than 4hrs. If a taste is detected in this water, the flushing should be repeated

Cleaning: Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with clean water. If Adocoat Black Bitumen Paint has hardened Resoklens should be used to soften the material. Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with Adowash.
