NOTES:
1. Brush or roller application may require additional coat(s) to achieve recommended film thickness and/or complete hiding.
2. When using heavily pigmented colors it is recommended to use Perma-Clear Fluorourethane over Indurethane 6700 Flat to maximize color and gloss retention.
3. All ICS and OCS designated systems correspond with the ANSI/AWWA D102 Latest Version System Number.
