4. Priprava in postavitev površine

Proper surface preparation is critical for optimal adhesion and performance of CERAKOTE coatings. Do not skip or rush these steps.

4.1. Required Equipment

• HVLP or conventional spray gun with appropriate nozzle size (e.g., 0.8mm - 1.4mm).
• Air compressor with moisture separator.
• Abrasive blasting equipment (optional, but recommended for optimal adhesion on metals).
• Degreaser (e.g., acetone, MEK, or specialized Cerakote degreaser).
• Clean, lint-free cloths.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as outlined in Section 2.

4.2. Surface Preparation Steps

1. Demontaža: Disassemble the item to be coated into its individual components.
2. stopnjaasing: Thoroughly degrease all surfaces using a suitable degreaser. Ensure all oils, greases, and contaminants are removed. Repeat if necessary.
3. Abrasive Blasting (for Metals): For optimal adhesion on metal substrates, abrasive blast the surface using 100-120 grit aluminum oxide at 80-100 PSI. This creates a profile for the coating to adhere to. Avoid blasting polymers unless specified by the manufacturer.
4. Končno čiščenje: After blasting (if applicable), re-degrease the surface to remove any blasting media residue or new contaminants. Use clean, lint-free cloths.
5. Sušenje: Ensure the surface is completely dry before application. Use compressed air to blow out any crevices.

4.3. Product Preparation

• Dobro pretresite: CERAKOTE C-SERIES coatings contain solids that will settle. Shake the bottle vigorously for at least 5 minutes before use to ensure a uniform mixture.
• No Catalyst: This C-Series product is air-cured and does not require a catalyst. Do not add any.
• Strain (Optional): For best results, strain the coating through a 100-190 micron filter before pouring into the spray gun cup to prevent clogs.

5. Navodila za uporabo (uporaba)

Apply CERAKOTE C-SERIES GLACIER BLACK in a controlled environment, maintaining consistent temperature and humidity if possible.

5.1. Spray Gun Settings

• Zračni tlak: Typically 20-30 PSI at the gun, depending on the gun type and desired atomization. Adjust as needed for a fine, even spray pattern.
• Nadzor tekočin: Adjust to achieve a consistent flow without excessive material.

5.2. Tehnika nanašanja

1. Hold the spray gun 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) from the surface.
2. Apply thin, even coats with overlapping passes. Avoid heavy coats, which can lead to runs or uneven curing.
3. Allow 5-10 minutes flash time between coats, or until the surface appears matte and no longer wet.
4. Typically, 1-2 coats are sufficient to achieve full coverage and desired film thickness.
5. Ensure all surfaces are evenly coated.

5.3. Curing Process

• CERAKOTE C-SERIES GLACIER BLACK is an air-cure coating. It will be dry to the touch within 24 hours at ambient temperatures (60-75°F / 15-24°C).
• Full cure and maximum hardness are achieved over a period of 5-7 days. Handle coated items carefully during this initial curing period.
• Do not expose to harsh chemicals or extreme abrasion until fully cured.
