T-1 STEALTH DETECTOR

 

T-1 HELPS LOCATE DULL AREAS OF TUB

Turn off ALL other lights in room to make the inspection for best results!

Look for dull areas, do NOT apply products to glossy un-damaged areas

 

T-1 Stealth will detect any  dull areas of the tub

           

Most tubs are dull ONLY in the bottom and approximately 1/3 up the side walls as shown with the RED ↑ arrows above.

Some tubs are NOT worn at all and may have only a few chips.

Some tubs are dull all over especially if they have been refinished previously and etched with hydrofluoric acid.

 

Our goal for each tub restoration is to repair damaged areas, and restore the gloss to worn areas bringing the tub back to its original appearance.

 

A Like New LOOK, NOT a Painted LOOK!

 

AFTER MAKING A THOROUGH INSPECTION PROCEED

PREPARING APPLICATOR PAD

3

APPLY STEP-2

IN LONG EVEN STROKES

If applying Slip-Grip bottom do NOT apply Step-2 immediately, wait until all other surfaces are sealed with Step-2 then apply it to the bottom last.

Do NOT apply products to GLOSSY un-damaged areas they will NOT penetrate and bond properly.

  1. Apply MEASURED amount of Step-2 to applicator pad

  2. Apply only to dull areas of tub

  3. Apply with long even strokes

  4. Overlap each stroke with the last one

4

DRY EACH COAT OF STEP- 2 WITH FAN

The tub will soak up a lot of STEP-2 on the first coat and may require several minutes to dry!

 After the first coat dries to touch, each coat there after will dry in just a few minutes with fan.

5

USE DETECTION LIGHT BETWEEN COATS

CAUTION: Each coat must be dry to touch before applying the next coat or the applicator pad will smear the pervious coat making the finish dull and rough.

6

USE WHITE PAD BETWEEN COATS

Lightly wipe all treated surfaces to insure any trash, lint etc are removed

White pad loosens any trash that might contaminate surface causing a rough finish

 

7

USE TACK CLOTH BETWEEN COATS

Always shake (away from the tub) the Star fiber tack cloth before each use.

Wipe lightly to remove any loose trash etc.

8

APPLY EACH COAT AT 90° ANGLE TO LAST COAT

 

 

Cross hatch application insures even distribution

9

Apply Step-2 to Slip-Grip Bottom

after all other surfaces are sealed

Squeeze the applicator pad over slip grip bottom

to get as much Step-2 out of the pad as possible

Use pad to distribute Step-2 evenly on Slip-Grip bottom

 

10

 

USE DETECTION LIGHT BETWEEN COATS

 

HOW MANY COATS SHOULD I APPLY?

When all dull areas have an even semi-gloss look

(Not a wet glossy look and Not a dull, flat look it must be semi-gloss look)
