How to use:

• Mask areas of the model that are not to be sprayed.
• Spray over suitable protective sheets.

• Spray to one side first to clear the nozzle.
• Hold the can in an upright position 300mm from a surface.
• Spray evenly moving the can from side to side.
• Keep button fully depressed while spraying. Spots of concentrated dye may appear if the button is only partially depressed.
• Use sparingly. Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat.
• The colour will vary depending on the number and thickness of coats applied.
• Heavy spraying may result in the dye dripping or puddling.

• Drying time is usually less than a minute for a light coat.
