Applying Oxhider Activator to Liquid Metals
Follow the directions below to apply the Oxhider Activator to liquid metals.
The standard consumption for Oxhider is 1l per 10m2. This may vary depending on the desired instensity and external conditions.
You will need a spray bottle, sponge and PPE including a filtered mask, gloves and eye protection.
Applying the Activator
Leave the metal for around an hour before applying the accelerator. The metal doesn’t need to be completely dry, in fact if it is still a bit wet it will oxidise quicker.
Pour the accelerator into a spray bottle and spray it directly onto the metal. You may need to dab the excess off with a sponge to stop runs.
Leave to oxidise. Don’t be in a rush, the longer you leave it, the more it will oxidise.
Once it is completely dry, if you would like it to oxidise more, you can sand the surface gently with a 240 grit sand paper and apply more accelerator.
Neutralise the Activator
Once you are happy with the level of oxidation, spray the surface with water and dab with a sponge to remove the excess water.
Leave to dry, minimum 24 hours.
