It's recommended to not thin Easypoxy when applying with a brush or roller, however, in hot weather 5-10% of Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner can be added to maintain a wet edge. For best results on large, smooth surfaces, roll out using a short nap roller followed immediately by leveling off with the tip of a brush. For conventional spray applications, thin 15-20% with Pettit 121 Spraying Thinner. For airless spray application, thin up to 5% with Pettit 121 Spraying Thinner. Utilize a 0.11-0.15" diameter tip for application.

Bare Wood:
- Sand surface smooth with 80-120 grit sandpaper, then solvent clean with Pettit 120 Thinner to remove residue.

- Apply a coat of 2018 EZ WoodSealer to penetrate and seal the porous grain. Follow with one or two coats of 6149 EZ Prime until an evenly smooth base condition is reached; sand each coat with 80-120 grit sandpaper and solvent clean with Pettit 120 Thinner.
- Proceed with the first finish coat of Easypoxy.
- Bare wood that has been epoxied must be thoroughly scrubbed with an ammonia/water solution then sanded with 120 grit sandpaper and solvent cleaned with Pettit 120 Thinner.

Application Notes
- Applying two or more coats in one day or applying excessively heavy films (greater than 4 wet mils) will lead to insufficient through drying of the paint and will yield soft paint films.
- Do not apply Easypoxy on extremely humid days (90°+ RH) or when rain is threatening.
- Do not apply in the late afternoon when working outdoors as the wet film may be adversely affected by dew.
- When working in cooler temperatures be sure the air and surface temperatures will remain at or above 50°F for at least 8 hours after application.
