Product Description
Brush Mate Vapour Mate. Replacement pads for the Brush Mate 4+ come readily impregnated with specially formulated fluid. The fluid keeps brushes fresh until the next use. How does it worK? The liquid from the pad evaporates slowly, producing a powerful heavier-than-air solvent vapour that fills the container.
The vapour is what prevents solvent evaporation and film formation of oil-based or alkyd paints and varnishes. So this allows you to store wet paint brushes used with these coatings for many months.
How do I know if I need to replace my Brush Mate Vapour Mate Pad? There is a ‘tell tale’ attached to the Vapour Mate pad which gives you an an indication. When the star in the ‘window’ noticeably fades in relation to the other star – it is time to replace! Keep a spare Vapour Mate for when your current Vapour Mate needs replacing.
You can usually expect a Vapour Mate to last up to 6 months under normal DIY usage. If you are a professional using the Trade 4 storage system you will need to replace your Vapour Mate more frequently or you may want to consider the Brush Mate 20. The Brush Mate 4+m is available here.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.
The preparation of steelwork prior to painting generally falls into two main areas; that of degreasing and the removal of rust and scale.
All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dust, grease and millscale, etc.
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
Mixing
Stir the paint with a drill stirrer or wooden baton at least 2” wide. Continue to stir during application.
Application
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume applying thin coats allowing each one to dry before applying subsequent coats.
Once dried, a second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.
Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.
If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use
Preceding Coat
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Mordant Solution.
Subsequent Coat
A second coat is recommended for maximum protection.
