CONTRACTORS GUIDE Section 11 - HELPFUL HINTS

HELPFUL HINTS
11-1 CURE TIME

Temperature, humidity, and the extended weather forecast should be considered when applying Polar Cap products. Do not apply products when the temperature is below 50 degrees or within 24 hours of expected rainfall. A heavy dew can re-wet the product and substantially prolong the cure time. Do not apply Polar Cap products when the dew point is within 5 degrees of the expected low temperature. An overnight low temperature below 32 degrees F. will also damage uncured coating.

11-2 PONDING AREAS

Total curing can require as many as 12 days. Prior to the maximum cured condition, the coating is susceptible to damage if ponding areas are subjected to moisture for an extended period of time. Within 10 days of the application of Polar Cap products, remove water from ponding areas. In any case water ponding should not exceed a depth of 3/4". An extra coat of POLAR CAP PREMIUM ROOF COATING (PCP-108) should be applied to those areas.

11-3 CLEAN UP

While brushes, rollers, etc. are still wet, they can be cleaned with water. Store rollers and brushes in Polar Cap roof coatings for re-use within 24 to 48 hours.

11-4 SHELF LIFE

Polar Cap products should always be protected from freezing. if product is stored for an extended period, pour 1/2 cup water onto the top of the product. Properly stored, tight containers will preserve product for extended periods.
