How to Apply Watco Cold Set Coating - Step-by-Step Guide

In this video, we'll walk you through the process of applying Watco Cold Set Coating. Traditionally, conventional paint formulations will not cure in temperatures lower than 10°C which can cause a problem when it comes to painting cold stores, unheated areas or outside during winter. Watco Cold Set Coating is a high performance, two part, Polyaspartic resin formulation, which means it can be applied at temperatures as low as minus 10°C. This paint for cold areas is also extremely strong and able to cope with heavy traffic, making it ideal for warehouses, loading bays and workshops.

By the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to get a professional finish with Watco Cold Set Coating.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Watco Cold Set Coating
• Watco Painting Kit:
• 12" Roller, Frame & Handle
• Plastic Scuttle
• 5" Paint Brush & 2" Paint Brush
• Mixing Stick
• Electric Drill fitted with Mixing Blade

STEP 1 - PREPARATION

• Thoroughly clean the surface to ensure it is free of dust and dirt
• If the concrete is new or bare, remove surface laitance, dust and any light dirt or grease deposits using Watco Etch & Clean
• If the surface has heavy deposits of grease or oil, use Watco Concroff or for painted surfaces, Watco Bio-D

STEP 2 - MIXING

• Remove the two inner tins
• Stir the contents of the tins thoroughly
• Pour the mixed components into the larger outer tin
• Mix thoroughly with a mixing blade until even in colour and consistency
• Pour the coating into a plastic scuttle for immediate use

STEP 3 - APPLICATION

• Use a paint brush to cut in around the edges of the surface
• Only apply in temperatures between - 10°C and +30°C
• At very low temperatures, the coating's viscosity will be thicker reducing overall coverage
