Run water through the sprayer after you have finished application so that the sprayer doesn’t clog on the next coat or the next time you spray. If you aren’t able to, at least place the equipment into a bucket of water for easy cleaning later. Make sure to clean all equipment thoroughly immediately after use. Once the Sound Control has cured, just repeat the above steps taking the varying air pressures required for each product into account. Do not force cure by aiming a heat source at the wet coating. It must air dry. The warmer it is, the quicker the coating will dry. If you are applying both products, make sure that the Sound Control has cured completely (24 hours at 70✯) before applying Ceramic Insulation.
