A dilution of 10% will reduce the solids within the product by the same amount.; In order to avoid "cracking" do not allow Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating to pool and do not apply coats too thick during the application.; Note: It is recommended that you preform a test patch to ensure adhesion before applying fully.Surface Preparation Concrete; Must be fully cured.; If concrete surface has a porous texture, no further surface preparation is necessary.; If the concrete surface is not porous, then acid etching, sanding or shot blasting is necessary.; Make sure to use a light acid etch and to remove all remaining acid with soap and water and scrub brush.; Concrete should be completely clean and dry.; Patch all imperfections, cracks, etc. with concrete patch filler and flexible joint fillers.; Do not use silicone products, as Tuff Coat Rubberized Deck Coating will not adhere to silicone.; Prime with CP-10 as per instructions on label. Once the primer has properly cured, apply Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating.; Painted Surfaces; Aggressively roughen surface by sanding with 36 or 40 grit sandpaper. The surface must be rough for proper adhesion.; Clean surface of all oils, grease, dirt, silicone and other contaminants. Leave no residue.; Inspect for any imperfections or delamination of previously painted surface.; Prime with CP-10 then apply Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating.; Asphalt; Clean surface by pressure-washing.; Ensure that surface is completely dry before applying asphalt primer.; Apply Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating.; Steel and Aluminum; All bare metal substrates should be appropriately primed after being treated for rust or removal of old paint.; All smooth metal should be cleaned, and aggressively roughed by sanding with 36 or 40 grit sand paper or by acid etch.; Acid etch is recommended.; Clean and dry surface.; Prime with MP-10 then apply Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating.; Rubber; Sand with 36 or 40 grit sand paper.; Clean and dry surface.; Prime with rubber primer then apply Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating.; Plywood, Lumber and Treated Lumber; New lumber needs no sanding. Old lumber requires sanding with 36 or 40 grit sandpaper.; Remove any peeling, cracking, or chipping paint, varnish or sealer.; Ensure that surface is clean and dry before priming with CP-10.; Apply Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating.; Fiberglass; To ensure good adhesion, first sand the surface aggressively using 36 or 40 grit paper to ensure the removal of all gloss from the substrate.; Ensure that the surface is free of waxes and other protective additives.; Ensure that surface is clean and dry before priming with CP-10.; Apply Tuff Coat Smooth Rubberized Deck Coating.; Application Methods Roller; Use Ultra TUFF Texture Rollers. The roller must be capable of lifting the rubber crumb within the product to the surface.; Pour product into paint tray and be sure to completely saturate the roller.; Apply the first coat as a thin coat. Resaturate roller after each pass.; Make 4-5 consecutive passes in the same direction, with each pass right next to the other.; When applying, roll in one direction first, then roll in the opposite direction.; Once an area is covered, run the roller very lightly over it to ensure even distribution of color and rubber crumb.; Spray; Use only the spray gun recommended or supplied by Tuff Coat. Superior brand "Spraying-Mantis" hand held Hopper gun, or equivalent.; Spray water out of the gun to prime.; Holding the gun approximately 12-24 inches away from the surface, spray an even, light coat over the entire surface.; Keep spray gun at a 90 degree angle to the surface.; Information sourced from Ultra TUFF and Ultra TUFF Marine Water-Based Non-skid Polyurethane Coatings Application Instructions.
