Usage
Seasoning and conditioning of new aluminum forms
Coverage
Test small area of form prior to using to determine if oxidation takes place,
since some aluminum alloys may resist. Apply to point of rejection, typically 300-400
sq. ft./gal. or 7.4-9.8 sq. m/L.
Packaging
5 gal./18.9 L pails
55 gal./208 L drums
275 gal./1,045 L totes
Cleanup
Sprayers and other application equipment can be cleaned with water.

Application
Apply in one direction over entire form, then roll in opposite direction over entire
form. Leave for approximately 1 hour. Hose off at 100 psi or lower. The use of higher
pressure or brooms will eliminate some of the treated surface.
Thoroughly seasoned forms will have a dull gray surface as opposed to a shiny new
surface. If there are any shiny areas on the surface of the form, it will require
re-seasoning. We recommend re-seasoning the entire form.
SURFACE PREPARATION: Forms and equipment should be free from dirt, hardened concrete
and foreign matter. Arrange forms face up, preferably in the sun, as product works best
in warm weather.
METHOD: Can be applied with sprayer, roller or brush at temperatures above freezing.
