Conventional Spray System
Equipment Required
-
Pressure Pot ( can be quart or 2 gallon size)
-

-

-
25 ft air and material hoses
-
Air compressor ( 5-25 gal tank)
Instructions
LPLT
Low Pressure Large Tip
-
The fleck size can be changed larger or smaller by adjusting the air pressure. If larger flecks are required lower the air pressure. If smaller flecks are required raise the air presssure.
-
Always practice on a piece of cardboard before starting the project.
-
Do not mechanically shake or mix Roxatone.
-
Projects less than 300 square feet do not need a 2 gallon pressure pot. A quart cup gun would be sufficient.
-
When using conventional equipment, a white primer is recommended.
Prepration of the Surface
When using Conventional equipment there are no specific alterations to the surface preparation that are outlined in the product specifications.
Application Method
When using Conventional equipment, Roxatone is applied using the 2 step method. The first step (coat) is called the: Shear Coat and the second step (coat) is called the: Pattern Coat.
Shear Coat
-
Set air pressure for shear coat @ approximately 50-60 psi
-
Set material pressure @ approximately 30-40 psi
-
Apply Roxatone with a cross-hatch method using horizontal or vertical strokes for the Shear Coat then reverse for the Pattern Coat.
-
Apply material approximately 12 - 18 inches away from the surface at a 90 degree angle to the wall.
-
Avoid pointing the spray gun up or down or to the side when applying Roxatone. Keep arm and gun pointed straight at the surface.
-
It is important to coat 100% of the surface for the step. There should be no primer or basecoat exposed after the Shear Coat is applied.
-
Allow first coat to become tacky or to dry completely before moving on to the Pattern Coat.
The Shear Coat is applied using high air pressure and low material pressure. It is intended to provide a durable base and will not display an accurate fleck size or pattern.
Pattern Coat
The Pattern Coat is applied using lower air pressure and slightly higher material pressure. This coat will install the Roxatone pattern and with a larger fleck size than the first coat.
-
Set air pressure for the Pattern Coat @ approximately 40-50 psi (adjust according to fleck size)
-
Set material pressure @ approximately 40-50 psi
-
Apply Pattern Coat with a cross-hatch method reversing stroke direction used for the for Shear Coat.
-
Apply material approximately 24 - 36 inches away from the surface at a 90 degree angle to the wall.
-
Avoid pointing the spray gun up or down or to the side when applying Roxatone. Keep arm and gun pointed straight at the surface to keep proper fleck shape.
-
When applying this step it is not necessary to coat 100% of the surface, if the coverage is between 75 - 100% the pattern will match the approved sample.
-
The Pattern Coat is a heavier coat and will take longer to dry than the first coat.
