- For Best Results
Always install a minimum 4' by 4' test area or job site mock-up for owner approval of acceptable color, texture, finish, adhesion, and any other critical requirement prior to proceeding. Protect materials at all times from excessive heat and cold, and pre-condition to room temperature as necessary.; Regularly check wet film thickness with mil gage, and monitor consumption to ensure correct application rates are obtained.; The proper application of this product is the sole responsibility of the end user. Job site visits by Miracote representatives are only for the purpose of making recommendations. Supervision and quality control are the sole responsibility of the user.; It is recommended to apply in two coats at the published coverage rates. Do not apply in one thick coat.; Measure substrate temperatures to ensure that material is applied when temperatures are between 50°F (4.5°C) and 90°F (32.2°C) during placement.; Verify all ventilation ducts are sealed shut or blocked to prevent diffusion of solvent fumes.; During application in direct sunlight and elevated temperature conditions thinning MiraGard HD 50 with acetone at a rate not to exceed 25% is acceptable to improve absorption, increase working time, and minimize bubbling and streaking.
