3. Preparation and Application

3.1 Surface Preparation

For optimal results, ensure the surface to be treated is free from loose dirt, heavy rust flakes, or debris. While Fluid Film can penetrate existing rust, removing loose material will enhance adhesion and protection. No extensive cleaning or drying is typically required as the product displaces moisture.

3.2 Application Instructions

1. Shake Can: Shake the aerosol can thoroughly for at least 30 seconds before use to ensure proper mixing of contents.
2. Ventilation: Ensure application is performed in a well-ventilated area.
3. Spray Distance: Hold the can approximately 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) from the surface.
4. Apply Evenly: Apply a thin, even coat to the desired metal surface. For rust prevention, ensure complete coverage. For lubrication, apply to moving parts.
5. Hard-to-Reach Areas: For intricate or hard-to-reach areas, an extension straw (if provided or purchased separately) can be attached to the nozzle for precise application.
6. Multiple Coats: For enhanced protection in harsh environments, a second coat may be applied after the first coat has settled (typically within 15-30 minutes).

4. Storage and Disposal

4.1 Storage

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F).
• Store away from ignition sources and incompatible materials.
• Keep container tightly closed when not in use.

4.2 Disposal

Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations. Do not puncture or incinerate empty cans.

5. Troubleshooting

Fluid Film is a straightforward product. Most issues relate to application or storage.

• Clogging Nozzle: If the nozzle clogs, remove it and clean with a suitable solvent or replace it. Ensure the can is shaken well before each use.
• Uneven Spray: Ensure the can is held at the recommended distance and shaken thoroughly. Apply in smooth, even passes.
• Poor Adhesion: While Fluid Film adheres well to most surfaces, extremely oily or greasy surfaces may reduce adhesion. A light wipe-down of such contaminants can improve results.
