Application
SURFACE PREPARATION: Forms and equipment should be free from dirt, hardened
concrete and foreign matter. Replace any damaged panels prior to application.
METHOD: Spray with Scotchman fog tip from Unitex to achieve published coverage
rates. Spray direct from container in all working temperatures. Apply in thin film by
sprayer for maximum protection and economy. Puddles should be wiped up with a rag prior
to pouring concrete. Prior to coating plywood forms, apply one or two heavy brush coats
to edges for waterproofing protection.
Equipment should be sprayed daily with Formtech N at the end of each day's use to
keep concrete or plaster soft for easy removal.
Aluminum doors, windows and panels should be wiped down with FORMTECH N upon
installation to prevent cement and plaster from adhering.
Light fogging of prestress and precast forms prior to each use will produce a
clean cast with a lighter finish and fewer bug holes. Less works better. With continuous
use, beds will stay clean and rust-free. Cleaning of forms will be greatly simplified,
reducing expensive maintenance.
Packaging

Cleanup
