Gentlemen: ,3 i 7.,-
Thank you for your Purchase Order #ESBSN. We are 7
pleased to hear of your interest in our product.
The full directions for application are printed
on each can and are shown in our literature but,
so that you may have these directions on hand in
your files, I shall give them to you in this letter.
The methods and characteristics of application of
RFMIRFDEK are as follows:
1. Can be applied to metal, wood, or
concrete surfaces which are painted or
unpainted.
2. Applied with either Spray or trowel.
a. Thin 1 gallon R—MIRPDEK with one—
half pint of R—MIRPDEK Extender to
spray both coats. ,
b. For troweling, thin same as above
to apply first coat and use as re—
ceived for second coat.
3. Application Procedure:
a. Clean surface free from grease
and dirt with Primary-Extender,
using clean cloth or brush. Wipe
off with clean dry cloth and allow
to dry — about 15 to 20 minutes re-
quires.
b. Apply first coat of RéMIRFDEK
in a very thin layer and allow to
dry, about two to four hours.
0. Apply second coat to a total
uniform depth of 0.025 plus or minus
0.005 inches. Allow to dry complete—
ly, about 6 hours will be required.

R—MIB—DEK Floor Paint may be applied by brush or '
spray and from four to six hmirs should be allowed
between coats. Aside from these details, applica—
tion is the same as R—MIR—DEK Non—Skid.
We are taking the liberty of enclosing with your
order a tube of Miracle Adhesive at n/c together
with some literature on its use both alone and
in conjuction with Gemco Industrial Hangers. You
will be amazed at the number of uses to which this
adhesive can be put.
Wishing you a joyful and prosperous New Year, we remain
Sincerely yours,
THE CONTINENTAL CO.
