BASIC "DO'S & DON'TS " OF POR-15

Don't open the POR-15 can until you are ready to paint.
Don't paint directly from the POR-15 can, unless you are going to use up all the paint in one session.
Do wear latex or rubber gloves when working with POR-15. If it dries on your skin, it has to wear off.
Don't shake up a can of POR-15. Do stir it, like a great Martini
Do pour out, from original can, only as much paint as you'll use up within 20 minutes.
Do wipe down lid and rim of original can throughly, and replace lid immediately!
Don't pour back into original can, the paint you have not used. It will ruin the remaining paint.
Do make sure surface to be painted is bone-dry. Use a blow dryer if necessary.
Do use Prep & Ready first if you are painting POR-15 on new steel, galvanized metal, aluminum, or any smooth metal surface.
Do use Prep & Ready if your job had to be degreased or cleaned.
Do use an organic vapor particulate respirator, NIOSH/MSHA approved when spraying POR-15. If you are spraying in an enclosed area, you must use an air-supplied respirator.
Do apply in thin coats.
Don't apply POR-15 to a "tacky" surface. Wait until the first coat is dry to the touch before applying a second coat of POR-15.

Do topcoat POR-15 with an opaque paint, if left exposed to prolonged sunlight.
Do store remaining POR-15 (once opened) in a cool, dry location such as a refrigerator.
