  1. Clean the surface (EffBOMB, OxyShock MAX or GreaseGone MAX as needed).
  2. Mask surrounding areas.
  3. Spray the first coat to saturation, using about two thirds of your estimate.
  4. Apply the second coat wet-on-wet at right angles to the first.
  5. Back-roll with a slit foam roller to avoid puddles.
  6. Allow to dry; it goes on milky white and dries transparent.
