PACKAGING

SparkPrime No. 562 is packaged in a one gallon can. Material weight is approximately 8.5 pounds per gallon.. Zinc Filler No. 561 is packaged in a one quart can (mix ratio is 1 qt. Zinc Filler to 1 gal. of Primer No. 562). Material weight is approximately 5 pounds.

Shelf LIfe

Sauereisen SparkPrime No. 562 has a shelf life of twelve (12) months and Zinc Filler No. 561 has a shelf life of one year when stored in unopened, tightly sealed containers in a dry location at 70°F. If there is a doubt as to the quality of the materials, consult a Sauereisen representative.

Application

Sauereisen SparkPrime No. 562 may be applied by brush, roller or spray. No mixing is required, simply shake the single component container prior to opening. Appropriate ventilation and/or respiratory equipment is recommended.; A dry film thickness in the range of 1-2 mils should be attained. Excess thickness will adversely effect the cure. To attain the proper dry thickness, application of 3-5 mils wet is suggested.; If material within the container forms a skin, cut out and remove. Carefully stir and transfer remainder of primer into a clean pail. Take care not to transfer gelled material.; Roller - Apply SparkPrime No. 562 by roller to the appropriate wet thickness using a short nap roller with a non-degradable core or nylon brush.; Spray - Application by standard airless spray equipment should be done with a 50% overlap in a "cross hatch" pattern to reduce the possibility of pinholes and to assure complete coverage. A wet thickness of 3-5 mils should be attained. Consult Sauereisen for complete details on equipment requirements.; If No. 561 Zinc Filler is to be added, the Filler must be kept absolutely dry and at a temperature of 60-80°F. Slowly add 5 lbs. of Zinc Filler to each gallon of No. 562. Çare must be taken to avoid entrapping air which will contain moisture. The Zinc will rapidly settle out if not kept continually agitated at slow speeds.; Do not use wooden tools or implements as the moisture in the wood will react with the No. 560. Do not use plastic tools or implements to weigh, handle, or clean up No. 562 as static charges may cause an explosion.
