3. Setup

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the glass or mirror surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
2. Protect Surrounding Areas: Mask off any areas you do not wish to spray using painter's tape or newspaper.
3. Shake the Can: Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Continue to shake occasionally during use.
4. Test Application: Before applying to your main surface, test the spray on an inconspicuous area or a scrap piece of glass to ensure desired effect and compatibility. Do not use on Plexiglas, plastic, or painted surfaces without prior testing.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Hold Distance: Hold the can upright approximately 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) from the surface.
2. Apply Evenly: Apply the spray in light, even coats using a steady, sweeping motion. Avoid heavy application in one spot to prevent drips.
3. Multiple Coats: For a denser frost effect, apply multiple thin coats. Allow approximately 10 minutes of drying time between each coat.
4. Shake Between Applications: Continue to shake the can periodically between coats to maintain consistent spray quality and prevent clogging.
5. Drying Time: The spray will dry to the touch within minutes, but allow several hours for it to fully cure before handling or exposing to moisture.

5. Maintenance

The Chase Snow Frost Aerosol Spray is designed for easy cleanup. To remove the frost effect from glass or mirror surfaces, gently scrape with a plastic scraper or use a damp cloth with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that may scratch the surface.

6. Troubleshooting

• Clogging or Uneven Spray: If the nozzle clogs or the spray becomes uneven, remove the nozzle and clean it with mineral spirits or paint thinner. If the can has been used for multiple small projects, ensure it is shaken thoroughly before each use to prevent material from settling and causing clogs.
• Poor Adhesion: Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Cold temperatures can also affect adhesion; apply in moderate temperatures.
• Drips or Runs: This usually indicates applying too much product in one coat or holding the can too close to the surface. Apply lighter, more even coats from the recommended distance.
