Mix Ply-Guard WBAC thoroughly before use. If the pigment has settled, pour off most of the liquid. Thoroughly mix the pigment with the remaining liquid, taking care to scrape all the pigment off the bottom of the can. Gradually add the poured-off liquid and mix thoroughly. Mixing can be made easier by transferring contents to a larger container or by pouring the paint to and from another container. Examine the bottom of the container for unmixed pigment.
