Limitations:
1. Resene Vinyl Etch is not designed to give long-term exterior protection without overcoating. When used in a severe marine environment it should be overcoated within a week. Durability of up to three months can be expected in mild marine conditions or better. With reasonable storage conditions coated articles will be protected for over a year. A film thickness of 20 microns is recommended with a period of exterior exposure is envisaged.
2. Drying times of solventborne paints may be extended when applied directly over Resene Vinyl Etch.
3. Not suitable for direct overcoating with Resene Imperite I.F. 500 Series (see Data Sheet RA81 and Data Sheet RA82) topcoats.
