7:1 base to activator by volume.
Theoretical spreading rate
30 sf per gal at 2 mils (13m²/liter at 50 microns) dft.
(Practical coverage values will depend upon environmental/application conditions, operator technique and geometry of work. Appropriate loss factors should be taken into account. Corrocoat accepts no liability for any differences in actual
spreading values obtained.)
