TACKY OVEN COATING 1493 is used as received. It can be applied by spraying, rolling, or brushing. Airless spraying is the preferred method of application, with a wet coating of 10-15 mils recommended. After applying, the oven is gradually brought up to temperature. During this time, the volatile hydrocarbon carrier solvent of TACKY OVEN COATING 1493 evaporates, leaving behind a surface of very high tack. This coated surface remains tacky for several weeks, depending on the temperature of the oven, the cleanliness, and the type of surface being coated. The TACKY OVEN COATING 1493 performs best on aluminum or aluminized panels. Therefore, for ovens of steel construction, it is best to line them with aluminum and apply the TACKY OVEN COATING 1493 to the aluminum.

TACKY OVEN COATING 1493 can be removed by raising the oven temp to 450-500F. At this temp, the coating decomposes to carbon dioxide and water.
