Surface Preparation

Surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and oil before application. For best results, apply to a clean, dry surface at temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C to 27°C). Store rolls in a cool, dry area at 60°F to 80°F with 40–50% relative humidity, out of direct sunlight.
